What is GitHub?

GitHub is a software development platform built around Git repositories and collaborative code review. Pull requests give a proposed change a place for discussion, checks and approval before it is merged. Issues and Projects connect that code with the work to be delivered, while Actions can automate testing, packaging and deployment.

The useful comparison is the whole development workflow, not repository storage alone. Consider who can approve changes, how branch rules are enforced and how much hosted compute the team needs. Copilot, Codespaces and advanced security products have their own entitlements or charges; a Team or Enterprise subscription does not mean every GitHub service is unlimited.
