What is GitHub?

GitHub is a code hosting and collaboration platform built around Git, offering unlimited public and private repositories, pull requests, code review tools, and project planning through Issues and Projects. It also includes GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation, GitHub Codespaces for cloud development environments, and GitHub Copilot, an AI pair programmer that can suggest code and, in coding agent mode, autonomously implement changes and open pull requests.

GitHub's Free plan supports unlimited repositories with 2,000 CI/CD minutes per month, while paid Team and Enterprise plans add protected branches, required reviewers, larger CI/CD minute allowances, and enterprise features like SAML SSO, audit logs, and compliance reporting. It serves everyone from individual developers to the largest enterprise engineering organizations.
