Git is an excellent,
and industry-recognized

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
version-control system.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
GitHub.com, the website,
makes that accessible to everyone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's easy to think that you could host

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your Git repositories anywhere.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's plenty of services,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and plenty of tools for you to host them

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even within your own corporate firewall.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But there's more
than just hosting your code.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're talking about changing software,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that includes all types,
and all facets of collaboration:

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
filing issues, organizing repositories
so they're easy to find,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
being able to mention
the contributors by user name,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the ability to have control
over the inbound changes,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
through the concept
that we call <i>pull requests</i>.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
All of these are facilitated
by GitHub.com,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a collaboration platform
that also hosts Git repositories.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Your first interaction with GitHub

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is likely through the <i>Explore</i> page,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
finding a bit of open source

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that solves a need
in your current application.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But soon, you'll find
you want to file an issue,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or perhaps even
submit a change to a project

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that improves it, or corrects a defect.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Those are all things
that are made possible

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
by the GitHub platform.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You'll find that we have solutions,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
such as an integrated defect tracker,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the process of pull requests,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to which code change can get reviewed,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
commented on, refined,
and then finally accepted,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
even for people
that are not core contributors

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the project itself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
GitHub adds further innovations
that allow Git to go places

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that it wouldn't ordinarily
have been welcome.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
For example, we have an SvnBridge
that allows any Git repository

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be treated as a subversion repository.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This often facilitates a slow migration

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
of continuous integration infrastructure,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
build scripts, or other automation

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you've built into
your release process.
