Collaboration Tools: Features like issue tracking, pull requests, and code review facilitate teamwork and structured discussion around changes.

Project Discovery: Users can search and explore millions of public repositories to find code, learn from others, and contribute to open-source projects.

Integration Ecosystem: It connects with a wide range of external tools for continuous integration, deployment, project management, and testing.

Access Control and Security: Administrators can manage permissions for teams and repositories, and tools are available for identifying security vulnerabilities in code.
