GitHub: the reference platform for collaborative development
Discover GitHub, the platform where your project's code lives and evolves
GitHub is the leading code hosting and collaboration platform for developers, built on Git: every change is versioned, every contribution is reviewed, every deployment can be automated.
A business application, a website, a data pipeline: every technical project needs a reliable place where code lives, evolves and gets shared. GitHub centralises the code, its history, team discussions and automation, from the solo developer to the distributed team.
GitHub is built around four functional pillars:
From the first commit to production deployment, the whole code lifecycle is covered.
1. Repositories and version control: the complete history of your code
The foundation: hosted Git repositories with the full history of the project.
- Store your code in private or public repositories
- Trace every change: who modified what, when and why
- Work in parallel with branches, without overwriting each other's work
- Roll back to a previous version when something goes wrong
2. Collaboration: code review at the heart of teamwork
GitHub made the pull request the standard for developer collaboration.
- Propose your changes through pull requests reviewed before merging
- Comment on code line by line to raise quality
- Track bugs and feature requests with issues
- Organise the team's work with GitHub Projects boards
3. GitHub Actions: automate tests and deployments
CI/CD built into the platform, with no external tool to maintain.
- Run your tests automatically on every code change
- Deploy to production as soon as a version is approved
- Describe your workflows right inside the repository, versioned like everything else
- Reuse the many ready-made actions built by the community

4. GitHub Copilot: AI right inside the editor
The coding assistant that brought AI to developers' daily work.
- Complete your code in real time with AI suggestions
- Generate functions and tests from a simple description
- Query your codebase in natural language with Copilot Chat
- Help new developers get up to speed on an existing project faster

What about security?
GitHub includes dependency analysis with Dependabot, exposed secret detection and static code analysis. Vulnerabilities get handled close to the development work, before they ever reach production.

GitHub is the leading code hosting and collaboration platform for developers. Built on the Git version control system, it lets teams store, version and share code, review it together and automate tests and deployments.
Developers and technical teams of all sizes, but also data teams that version their pipelines and models. Any organisation that commissions development work, in-house or through a partner, should own its code on GitHub.
Git repository hosting, collaboration through pull requests and code review, task tracking with issues and Projects, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, the GitHub Copilot AI assistant and security tools such as Dependabot.
GitHub offers a free plan covering the essentials, including private repositories, then paid per-user plans for advanced team and enterprise features. Copilot is a separate subscription. Up-to-date pricing is available on the official website.
Yes: data pipelines, dbt models, integration scripts and infrastructure as code are versioned just like application code. At turnK, every CRM, ERP or data integration project is versioned on Git, guaranteeing traceability and reversibility for our clients.
