About GitHub

GitHub is a platform where developers store code, plan work and build software together. It combines version control with project tools, automation and security checks. TrustList files it under application development software.

  • GitHub Actions — automates build, test and deployment steps.
  • Codespaces — a complete development environment started in the cloud.
  • Issues, Projects and Discussions — planning tools and spaces for questions.
