Collaborate

{: .thumbnail }

GitHub Issues lets you create discussion around text, proposed changes or just ideas. You can ping other users or teams (A), embed images (B) and write in Markdown. {: .mini-section }

View

{: .thumbnail }

Visualizing data or text is lovely here. GitHub automatically creates maps (A) from .geoJSON files, tables (B) from .CSV, renders .markdown, shows the differences between saves of text (C) and images. {: .mini-section }

Share

{: .thumbnail }

GitHub makes it easy to share by generating urls for files, even for specific lines of text in a file (A). Forget emails and attachments, just ping another user and copy and paste a link -- we call that, the GitHub flow. {: .mini-section }

In your Datacenter or the Cloud

{: .thumbnail }

If you've got your own servers and want to run GitHub just within your agency, GitHub Enterprise{:target="_blank"} has got you covered. If you don't want to worry about servers, we'll handle that for you and GitHub.com{:target="_blank"} is your choice. {: .mini-section }
