GitHub

Code hosting is where GitHub lives, and its pitch is simple: a web-based platform for software development and version control using Git.

GitHub is a code hosting platform that stores your repositories online and gives you the distributed version control and source code management Git provides, with its own features added on top.

Access control lets you decide who can see and change a project.

Each project also gets bug tracking, feature requests, task management and a wiki, so discussion and documentation sit next to the code instead of in separate apps.

That suits solo developers and teams who want code and planning in one spot.

GitHub is listed here alongside AI developer tools, graph AI and open source AI models, but the core of what it does is hosting and managing Git projects.
