GitHub is a web-based platform that provides version control using Git, allowing developers to host and review code, manage projects, and build software collaboratively. It offers features like bug tracking, task management, and wikis for every project, alongside CI/CD tools and security scanning. With millions of users and repositories, GitHub has become the world's largest community of developers to discover, share, and build better software together.

GitHub Copilot 9

GitHub Copilot is Microsoft/GitHub's AI-powered coding assistant that integrates directly into IDEs to provide inline code completions, a conversational chat interface, CLI assistance, and autonomous background agent capabilities. Originally launched as a tab-complete tool built on OpenAI Codex, it has evolved into a multi-model agentic platform supporting automated code edits, pull request reviews, and per-session git worktree isolation for background tasks. It is widely regarded as the category-defining AI coding assistant and a primary driver of mainstream developer adoption of LLM-assisted programming.
