GitHub is a Git hosting service that offers a Git-based source code repository, which offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features.
Description
Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration.
GitHub also provides access control and several collaboration features such as wikis, task management, and bug tracking and feature requests for every project.
Types of plans
GitHub offers both plans for private repositories and free accounts, which are usually used to host open source software projects.
Statistics
As of 2015, GitHub reports having over 9 million users and over 21.1 million repositories, making it the largest code hoster in the world.
