GitHub Enterprise Cloud

This code-hosting repository allows developers who work in different locations to collaborate on the same project. GitHub is designed to use Git software so users and developers can track each other’s changes as they combine their expertise to create source code. This platform is fast and efficient, and maintains data integrity during version control, branches, commits, pull requests, and management of Git repositories. Many developers appreciate GitHub’s ability to support non-linear workflows as they contribute to the open-source community.

GitHub empowers VA developers, public sector developers, and VA project teams to host a shared code repository as they work together in a collaborative environment. This software provides the Git version control software, which includes social networking functionality, plus security and administrative features. Many teams use GitHub to get updates, propose changes, browse code, ask for input, make suggestions, and sign off in one place. It provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, project Kanban boards, and wikis.

GitHub is authorized for authority to operate (ATO) low usage; it cannot include any protected health information (PHI) or personally identifiable information (PII).
