GitHub: Where the World Builds Software

As the global home for all developers, GitHub is the complete AI-powered developer platform to build, scale, and deliver secure software. Over 150 million developers, including those from 90 of the Fortune 100, collaborate on over 420 million projects, making GitHub the largest and most advanced development platform in the world.

Founded in April 2008 by Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath, and PJ Hyett, GitHub's mission is to empower people to build software together. Our vision is to create a world where anyone can contribute to technology, guided by our core values of transparency, inclusivity, and integrity. The journey began on October 1, 2007, and has since evolved into a comprehensive suite of tools designed to streamline every stage of the development lifecycle.

GitHub provides tools for:

• Coding
• Planning
• Collaboration
• Automation
• Security

Key features include:

• GitHub Copilot: your AI pair programmer
• GitHub Actions: for workflow automation
• GitHub Codespaces: cloud-based development environments
• GitHub Advanced Security: to ensure application security

Industry leaders like Shopify, EY, Figma, and Duolingo rely on GitHub to build and scale their software.

We emphasize application security, offering tools to find and fix vulnerabilities, and support open source projects through GitHub Sponsors.

Whether you're part of a small startup or a large enterprise, GitHub scales to accommodate teams of any size in any industry.

Join us in building the future of software, together.
