GitHub
GitHub is a web-based platform for version control and collaboration using Git, primarily used for software development. It provides hosting for Git repositories, issue tracking, code review, project management tools, and social networking features for developers. It enables teams to work together on code, manage projects, and build software in a centralized, accessible environment.
Developers should use GitHub to manage and share code, collaborate on open-source or private projects, and build a professional portfolio. It is essential for version control, team workflows, and showcasing skills to potential employers or collaborators. Use cases include hosting personal projects, contributing to open-source software, and implementing CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.
