What Is GitHub?

GitHub is a web platform for hosting and collaborating on code — built on the version control system Git. It’s where millions of developers store their repositories, review each other’s work, and contribute to open-source projects.

What you can do

  • Host unlimited public and private repositories.
  • Open and review pull requests.
  • Track issues and plan work.
  • Showcase your projects as a portfolio.

GitHub is the standard front door to the developer world — and a powerful portfolio for anyone learning to code.
