# GitHub

> A complete developer platform for building, shipping, and maintaining software with AI-powered tools, version control, and collaboration features.

GitHub is the world's leading software development platform, providing developers and teams with a comprehensive suite of tools for version control, collaboration, and CI/CD automation. Built on Git, GitHub enables millions of developers to host, review, and manage code while collaborating on projects of any scale. The platform integrates AI-powered features through GitHub Copilot, offering intelligent code suggestions and automation capabilities.

- **Unlimited Repositories** - Host unlimited public and private repositories with full Git version control, enabling teams to manage codebases of any size with complete history tracking and branching capabilities.

- **GitHub Actions** - Automate software development workflows with built-in CI/CD pipelines, allowing you to build, test, and deploy code directly from your repositories with customizable workflow configurations.

- **GitHub Copilot Integration** - Access AI-powered code completion and suggestions directly in your editor, helping developers write code faster with context-aware recommendations.

- **GitHub Codespaces** - Spin up fully configured cloud development environments instantly, enabling developers to code from any browser with pre-configured containers and flexible compute options.

- **Advanced Security Features** - Protect your code with Dependabot security updates, secret scanning, push protection, and CodeQL analysis to identify vulnerabilities before they reach production.

- **Pull Requests and Code Review** - Collaborate effectively with structured code review workflows, draft pull requests, required reviewers, and code owners to maintain code quality.

- **Issues and Projects** - Track bugs, plan work, and manage projects with flexible project boards, milestones, and team discussions integrated directly with your codebase.

- **GitHub Packages** - Host and manage software packages alongside your source code, with support for npm, Docker, Maven, and other package formats.

To get started, create a free account at github.com and initialize your first repository. Use the web interface or Git command line to push code, create branches, and open pull requests. Teams can upgrade to paid plans for advanced collaboration features, increased CI/CD minutes, and enterprise-grade security controls.
