How can i use zeppelin or integrate it with my Remix ide?

Hello am new to zeppelin and have heard how it helps with smart contract writing, how does this work? i am learning smart contracts and mostly write my codes from scratch, can openzeppelin ease things up? if yes, please how.? i use Remix ide..

Hey!
In solidity there are imports! This means you can import source code from others. This could look like this:

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/extensions/ERC20Burnable.sol";

You importet ERC20 from openzeppelin and now you can create the ERC20 token like this:

contract MyToken is ERC20 {
    constructor() ERC20("MyToken", "MTK") {}
}

You can create other templates here: https://wizard.openzeppelin.com/
Keep in mind that if you want to verify your Source code on for example BSCScan you would need to search for the code of the import and paste it in because otherwise it would give you an error.
The code for the two imports would look like this:

interface IERC20 {
    event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint256 value);
    event Approval(address indexed owner, address indexed spender, uint256 value);
    function totalSupply() external view returns (uint256);
    function balanceOf(address account) external view returns (uint256);
    function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) external returns (bool);
    function allowance(address owner, address spender) external view returns (uint256);
    function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) external returns (bool);
    function transferFrom(
        address from,
        address to,
        uint256 amount
    ) external returns (bool);
}

interface IERC20Metadata is IERC20 {
    
    function decimals() external view returns (uint8);
}

abstract contract Context {
    function _msgSender() internal view virtual returns (address) {
