What is Github?
GitHub is a web-based hosting service for projects that use the Git revision control system. It was developed by Logical Awesome programmers Chris Wanstrath, PJ Hyett, and Tom Preston-Werner using Ruby on Rails. GitHub offers both commercial plans and free accounts for open-source projects.
The platform includes social networking features such as feeds, followers, and network graphs to showcase how developers interact with their repository versions. GitHub also operates a Pastebin-style site at gist.github.com, which serves as a wiki for individual repositories and web pages editable via Git repositories. Additionally, GitHub features a built-in, robust issue tracker.
