In GitHub's ecosystem
Transactional
GitHub was founded in 2008 by Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath, PJ Hyett and Scott Chacon. GitHub provides a web based interface for version control with Git, to share, collaborate and manage code projects. It has features like pull requests, issues and GitHub Actions that makes workflows faster and automates common development tasks.
GitHub’s impact on the software development community is huge, serving millions of developers and hosting billions of repositories. Its open source model supports a massive ecosystem, so developers can contribute to projects and adopt industry standards more easily.
In 2018 Microsoft acquired GitHub, and has since added features like GitHub Copilot.
GitHub has GitHub Marketplace, a one-stop shop to find integrations and tools to supercharge your software development team’s workflows. GitHub Marketplace has a range of apps and services that integrate directly with your GitHub repositories. It has categories like project management, code quality and security to help you find tools that fit into your workflow.
The marketplace is designed to make integrating third party tools without manual setup. You can browse and install free and paid apps and try them out right from GitHub. GitHub Marketplace is your go-to resource to add more functionality to GitHub.
