Trending Repositories

How does it work?

Get up and running in seconds by forking a project, pushing an existing repository, or starting fresh. No approval is necessary.

GitHub was written for public, open source projects and private, proprietary codes — if you use Git, GitHub is for you.

What else does it do?

GitHub provides pre-rolled post-commit hooks (IRC, Jabber, Email, Trac, Campfire, etc.) as well as an innovative web hook system for writing your own.

Every repository comes with SSH support for pushing and pulling. Private repositories enjoy full SSL support on the web side, as well.

adopted GitHub as their code host of choice.
