! Writing great software is hard enough
! Your development environment shouldn’t make it more painful
! The best software is built by happy people working
together

community to your agency
! Collaboration Regardless of when or where
! Electronic High-fidelity mediums expose process

! Conversational GitHub For non-GitHubbers
! Repositories Centralize project files and revision history
GitHub repositories feature source code management with Git, the leading
distributed version control system
! Pull Requests Faster, more efficient code review
Pull Requests are living discussions that streamline the process of
discussing, reviewing, and managing changes to code.
! Comments Discuss code at branches and diffs
Teams can have a detailed discussion about every commit that
is pushed to a project. Comment on each commit as a whole, or start a conversation on an individual line.
! @Mentions Lightweight notifications for users and teams
@mention a GitHub username or a team anywhere in the
context of an issue or pull request and that person or team is notified and subscribed to future updates.
! Issues Stay on top of bugs and focus on
features
Issues are integrated into every GitHub repository and enable bug
tracking, feature requests, task management, or questions on a per- project basis.
! Dashboards Real time insights into your code and teams
Dashboards show you who has been actively committing and what
has changed in a project’s default branch. You can see new and merged pull requests, open and closed issues, and unresolved discussions.
! Native Clients GitHub repositories on your computer
GitHub for Mac and GitHub for Windows make it easy
to work locally on projects and with GitHub features like issues, pull requests and notifications.

projects in public repositories Secure collaboration in private repositories GitHub Enterprise GitHub behind your firewall Enhanced administrative tools like LDAP and CAS integration
