UNIT 5 GitHub
GitHub 📌 Definition GitHub is a web-based platform used for storing, managing, and collaborating on source code using Git. 🔹 Key Features 1. Repository Hosting Stores project files and code online Public and private repositories available 2. Version Control Tracks changes in code Maintains history of modifications 3. Collaboration Multiple developers can work on the same project Supports pull requests and code reviews 4. Branching & Merging Create separate branches for features Merge changes into the main project 5. Issue Tracking Report bugs and track tasks Manage project workflows 6. GitHub Actions Automates workflows (CI/CD pipelines) Build, test, and deploy code automatically 🔹 Common GitHub Terms Repository (Repo) → Storage for project files Commit → Save changes Branch → Separate version of code Merge → Combine changes Pull Request (PR) → Request to merge code 🔹 Basic Workflow Create a repository Clone it to local system Make changes Commit changes Push to GitHub Create pull request Merge changes 🔹 Advantages Easy collaboration Secure code storage Version tracking Integration with CI/CD tools Open-source community support 🔹 Example A team creates a project in GitHub. Developers work on different features using branches and merge them after testing.
