GitHub

GitHub is a platform for hosting and collaborating on software projects built on Git. Teams store repositories, track work with issues, review changes through pull requests, and automate builds and deployments with GitHub Actions. It is also home to a large open source community, with programs such as Sponsors for funding maintainers.

The platform lists a broad feature set: Copilot for AI code creation, an app for directing agents from issue to merge, an MCP Registry for integrating external tools, Codespaces for instant development environments, Code Review, Code Quality, and application security products such as Advanced Security, code security and secret protection. A Marketplace, documentation, a changelog and community programs like Security Lab and the Maintainer Community round out the ecosystem.

GitHub offers plans for enterprises, small and medium teams, startups and nonprofits, with a public pricing page and enterprise add-ons such as premium support. It is a hosted commercial service, and GitHub also sells a self-managed Enterprise Server edition for organizations that run it on their own infrastructure.
