About GitHub

Facts about GitHub

GitHub is where software teams keep their code and work on it together, with repositories, issues, pull requests, code review, automation (GitHub Actions) and security tools. There is a free plan, and the Team and Enterprise plans are charged per user. GitHub Copilot, its AI coding assistant, has a free tier and paid plans; it works in code editors, on github.com and in the terminal, with models from Anthropic, OpenAI, Google and others. GitHub also runs an MCP Registry that lists its own MCP server, and offers a free, open-source command-line tool (gh).
