Registration of Module

<?php \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register( \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, 'Magenticians_Mymodule', __DIR__ );
Create Frontend Layout File

Create extra_tab.phtml file in app/code/Magenticians/Mymodule/view/frontend/templates and paste this code in it:
<?php
$product = $block->getProduct();
?>
<h1 style="color: #ff6e17"><?php echo $product->getData('tab'); ?></h1>Let’s move on to running commands now.
Note: All of the following commands will have to be run in the root directory of your Magento 2.
Run this command now:
php bin/magento module:status
If you found the module in the disabled list, then you have to enable it by running the following command:

Lastly, just run all these commands:
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:clean
