GitHub is a platform that supports software development by allowing developers to write, review, and manage code collaboratively. It offers a range of tools for both individual developers and larger enterprises, including free services for small teams and premium solutions like GitHub Enterprise Cloud and GitHub Enterprise Server, which provide advanced security features and dedicated support.
