GitHub is an essential tool for AI developers. However, if you’re just getting started, learning its key concepts and how to use it can be overwhelming. In this article, I’ll break down the basics and walk through a simple GitHub workflow for your AI projects.
GitHub allows you to share and manage software projects. While there are many good reasons to use it, the main one is that it enables developers to productively collaborate on code at scale (and for free).
Other key features include:
Free and simple way to share your work with the world
Collaboration tools and features (PRs, issues, web-based code review, kanban boards)
GitHub actions: CI/CD, automate workflows
Wikis and docs
A GUI for browsing repos, commits, branches, and diffs
