About us
GitHub is the home of software development. It's where anyone from anywhere can build what's next. It’s where AI agents and developers work side by side, so every commit is secured and every workflow delivers. It’s where open source communities share ideas, where students write their first lines of code, and where innovation happens with the touch of a key. It’s where the impossible becomes possible — from life-saving technologies to everyday apps used by millions. At GitHub, we believe the best work happens together. Let’s build.

Copying GitHub Copilot Chat logs out #VSCode can be a frustrating experience, so I've built an opensource tool to convert these directly to Markdown. Now you can blog about your approach to AI pair-programming, send samples to customers, or even embed examples into your own repos. Let me know if it's useful!: https://lnkd.in/gaVT9ctF

What if your AI could ask you for help when it got stuck? 🤔 That's MCP elicitation. It lets an agent pause, ask for missing info, and then get the job done. We built it into a Tic-Tac-Toe game server to show you how it works. Get the full guide.👇 https://lnkd.in/gwiTGKq2
