GitHub

A cloud platform that hosts Git repositories. It's where developers store, share, and collaborate on code, think of it as Google Drive for code, with version history baked in.

GitHub is where most open-source tools live, where hiring managers look at portfolios, and where your team's code lives securely in the cloud.

A founder pushes her app code to a private GitHub repository, then connects it to Vercel for automatic deployments every time she makes a change.
