You can use GitHub to store your code, work with teammates and track changes over time. It offers branching, pull requests and issue tracking so you and your team can review work, fix bugs and release features smoothly. Two standout features include its built-in CI/CD workflows via GitHub Actions and its social collaboration model with forks and stars. Use it for open source projects, internal team codebases or integrating development and deployment in one place.
