What is GitHub?

GitHub hosts Git repositories with pull requests, code review, issue tracking and automated workflows. It connects day-to-day development with a large public project ecosystem. Teams should evaluate repository rules, security add-ons and build usage alongside seat licensing; a free repository does not make every connected development service unlimited.
