GitHub is the largest source-code-hosting platform, hosting Git repositories with pull requests, code review, and collaboration for individuals, open-source projects, and enterprises. Now owned by Microsoft, it bundles CI/CD via GitHub Actions, a package registry (GitHub Packages), issue tracking and project boards, and AI assistance via Copilot. It offers a generous free tier including unlimited free private repositories, with paid Team and Enterprise plans adding advanced controls and SAML SSO.
