How do gas giants work?

I mean, how do we get a certain quantity of gas matter to become an actual planet? Is there anything inside it? How is, say, Jupiter’s core?

It’s also a slight misnomer to call them Gas Giants.
Whilst the outer shells may be gaseous, the further down into the planet you go, and the higher pressure, the gases slowly turn to liquid and into solid. They’re not all gas all the way through.
