GitHub

Around plain Git repositories, GitHub adds pull requests for review, issue tracking, and Actions for building, testing and deploying, and it hosts much of the world's open-source code. For developers it also doubles as a public portfolio. Newcomers treat it as storage; its real value lies in the review and automation workflow, which employers expect candidates to know from day one.
