What is GitHub?
GitHub hosts Git repositories and provides collaboration tools for software projects. It keeps a history of changes and supports workflows for issues, pull requests, reviews, and automation.
What can you do
with GitHub?
Repositories
Store a project and its version history in one place.
Branches and pull requests
Propose changes and review them before merging.
Issues
Track bugs, improvements, and the context behind a request.
GitHub Actions
Automate checks or other repository workflows when events occur.
Start with one useful task.
A practical exercise to explore how GitHub could fit your work.
- Create or open a repository for one project. Include a useful README.
- Make a small change on a branch and open a pull request that explains the purpose.
- Review the diff and checks, then merge it and verify the deployed result if deployment is connected.
