This issue is about adding aria-label for social anchors (links like Github) which are placed inside the footer element
it is important to note that we want to add the title attribute also. This is because the title attribute is intended to provide additional information to screen reader users.
The aria-label attribute is a way more important for providing accessibility information to screen reader users. The aria-label attribute is an Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) attribute that can be used to provide a label for an element. This label is then read aloud by screen readers, providing additional information about the element to the user.
In general, the aria-label & title attributes are preferred for providing accessibility information to screen reader users.
