GitHub

Where the world builds software

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

 

 

 

Code

Give your code a 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.

 

 

 

Collaborate

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.

 

 

 

Develop

Blazing fast cloud developer environments with Codespaces

The future of code is in the cloud, not your local copy. Codespaces gives you a complete, configurable dev environment on top of a powerful VM in minutes.

 

 

 

Visual Studio Code, in your browser, full stop. Codespaces brings the world’s most popular desktop editor to every repo. Code, build, test, use the terminal, and open pull requests from anywhere.

 

 

 

Customize to your heart’s desire. Add your favorite VS Code extensions, create a devcontainer config file, install new themes, and tweak your settings.

 

 

 

Automate

Automate anything with GitHub Actions

Actions

Write your own, or import Actions from the open source community, all within our world-class editor. Feeling stuck? Browse the Actions developer docs as you code.

 

 

 

You can have it all. Run actions in any language or operating system, on Linux, macOS, Windows, ARM, and containers. Or all at once with matrix builds.

 

 

 

With 70 million jobs run per month you’re in good company with Actions, the number one CI service on the world’s largest developer platform.

 

Speaking of automation, Dependabot keeps your projects up to date with automated pull requests that update all your dependencies. Just review and merge to keep your software secure.

 

 

 

Secure

Find and fix vulnerabilities before you merge

Secure your code as you write it. CodeQL’s code scanning automatically reviews every change to your codebase and identifies known vulnerabilities before they ever reach production.

 

 

Keep your secrets. We automatically scan repositories for OAuth tokens, API keys, personal tokens, and more. If we find one, we’ll notify you and the partner that issued it to invalidate the secret.

 

 

 

Found a vulnerability? Our security advisory remediation tools help developers identify and disclose them responsibly so maintainers can patch them in dedicated, private workspaces.

 

Community

The home for all developers — including you

GitHub Discussions is dedicated space for your community to come together, ask and answer questions, and have open-ended conversations.

 

 

 

 

Amplify your voice in your own personal README on your profile. Tell the story of your work through your repositories, contributions, and technologies of choice.

 

 

That open source code you wrote for yourself might just help someone else. Get paid for building what matters to you with GitHub Sponsors.
