GitHub is a web-based platform for software development and version control using Git. It is used by developers and teams of all sizes to manage codebases, track changes, and collaborate on projects.

• Version Control with Git: Tracks every change to your code, allowing you to revert to previous states, compare versions, and see who made specific changes.
• Collaboration Tools: Enables team workflows through features like pull requests for code review, issue tracking for task management, and project boards for organization.
• Code Hosting and Discovery: Provides a central place to host public and private repositories, making it easy to share code and discover millions of open-source projects.
• Automated Workflows: Supports automation through GitHub Actions, allowing you to build, test, and deploy your code directly from the platform.
• Security Features: Includes tools for vulnerability scanning, secret detection, and dependency review to help secure your codebase.
