GitHub
Developer collaboration platform
GitHub is a website and service for hosting software projects using Git version control.
Developers use it to store code, track changes, and collaborate: Check the GitHub repo for the latest version.
It has become the default platform for open-source software and a de facto portfolio for programmers.
To push to GitHub is to upload code changes; to fork a project is to create your own copy to modify.
