GitHub:
-
GitHub is the world’s largest open-source developer community platform where users upload their projects and code for others to view, edit, and tweak.
-
Main idea behind GitHub is that any developer can upload whatever software code or app code or software idea they have on the platform, and have others collaborate with them to help improve it, find errors, and fix problems.
-
Any public project can be viewed by others on the platform. Most of the features of the platform are free for users. Organisations can use paid accounts to upload their software and projects for collaboration.
-
The platform uses the software Git, which was created in 2005 by Linus Torvalds, to track changes in a set of files and for coordination in software development.
