GitHub is where most of the world's open-source software lives. Beyond Git hosting, it provides pull request workflows for code review, issues and projects for project management, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, Packages for artifact storage, and Copilot for AI-assisted coding. GitHub's network effects are powerful — having your project on GitHub means it is discoverable by millions of developers, and contributions come with built-in identity and reputation. For companies, GitHub Enterprise offers SSO, audit logs, and compliance features. GitHub has become the default platform for both open-source and commercial software development.
