What is GitHub?

Millions of developers and companies build, ship, and maintain their software on GitHub—the largest and most advanced development platform in the world.

Give your code home in the cloud
Record or rewind any change to your code to keep you and your team in sync. Host it all for free with unlimited public and private repositories.

Build on what’s been built
Write less code thanks to the world’s largest software package registry. Find the best community-approved projects to accelerate your work, then share it with the world with npm and GitHub Packages.

Ready player two. Scale your team to any size in the cloud.

  • Better code starts with pull requests—conversations around your code where you can experiment, squash bugs, and build new features.
  • Code review is built in. Pull requests cover the entire review flow: propose changes, browse code, ask for input, make a suggestion, and sign off in one place.
  • Know when your pull request is ready to merge when everything’s green. Reviews approved? Check. Tests passing? Check check. No conflicts? Ship it already.
