Hello, Forum! I work with Arduino couple months, and my main problem is a search of libraries. Many Youtube videos write about libraries, which I cannot find inside IDE program. Where these secret libraries are stored? How to get them? is there any general portal for all Arduino modules libraries ? Thank you.
You'll typically find those in GitHub.
To be available in the IDE, the owner needs to submit the link to Arduino and respect a certain format.

Please provide some examples of libraries that you can't find
In general, user installed libraries are located in the libraries folder in you sketchbook folder. Libraries for particular boards are installed with the board files and are in the Arduino15 folder (C:\Users<username>AppData/Local/Arduino15) as are the Arduino built in libraries
Libraries not yes installed are, of course, not on the PC
Hi, UKHeliBob! Thank you for your reply. Well, my last problem is to find library for Rel Time Clock module DS1302. I have watched several videos. For example, I could not find such libraries like DS1302.h and Rtc.DS1302.h .
Are you looking for the files that you have already installed or looking for the library to install it ?
I just googled "DS1302.h GitHub" for example
You can find a library referenced by Arduino
or not referenced
I don't use IDE 2, but in IDE1.8.19, one would use the menu item "Manage Libraries", then enter "1302" in the search box in the library manager, and peruse the available libraries that reference that item. Beyond that, others have pointed you to Github.
Of course, if you're following along on some Youtube (or other) project, and they don't bother to tell you where to find the library they used, I would take that as an indication of the poor quality of the content. But that's just me.

Are you sure it's 1302 and not 1307 (I do see a DS1302 for Pico)? 1307 is a very old RTC, I only use ChronoDot V2.0 and greater now. Or I buy raw chips and make my own.
Be wary of the ZS-042, it is often used but has serious flaws the first being a battery that can explode as well as more.
