GitHub is a web-based platform for version control and collaborative software development. It hosts over 420 million repositories and serves more than 150 million developers, from individual coders to large enterprises. The platform is built on Git, providing a central place to store, manage, and track changes to code.

Key features include:

• Version control with Git: Every project has a full history of changes, allowing teams to branch, merge, and revert code safely.
• Pull requests and code review: Developers can propose changes, discuss modifications, and review code before merging it into the main branch.
• Issue tracking and project management: Built-in tools for reporting bugs, suggesting features, and organizing work with boards, milestones, and labels.
• Actions for automation: Automate workflows like testing, building, and deploying code directly from the repository.
• Security and dependency management: Automated alerts for vulnerable dependencies and secret scanning help keep projects secure.

GitHub also offers a free tier for public and private repositories, making it accessible for open-source projects and small teams. For larger organizations, paid plans add advanced security, compliance, and administrative controls.
