Development of the GitHub platform began on October 1,
2007.[6][7] The site was launched in April 2008 by Tom
Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath, and PJ Hyett after it had
been made available for a few months prior as a beta period.
Projects on GitHub can be accessed and manipulated using
the standard git command-line interface and all of the
standard git commands work with it. GitHub also allows
registered and non-registered users to browse public
repositories on the site. Multiple desktop clients and git
plugins have also been created by GitHub and other third
parties which integrate with the platform.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/presentation1-150531135935-lva1-app6892/75/Presentation1-3-2048.jpg)

- 2. GITHUB GitHub is aweb-based Git repository hosting service, which offers all of the distributed revision control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. Unlike Git, which is strictly a command-line tool, GitHub provides a web-based graphical interface and desktop as well as mobile integration. It also provides access control and several collaboration features such as wikis, task management, and bug tracking and feature requests for every project.

- 4. LICENSING OF REPOSITORIES GitHub's Termsof Service do not require public software projects hosted on GitHub to meet the Open Source Definition. Therefore (and in any case) it is advisable for users and developers intending to use a piece of software found on GitHub to read the software license in the repository (usually found in a top-level file called "LICENSE", "LICENSE.txt", or similar) to determine if it meets their needs.
- 5. GITHUB ENTERPRISES GitHub Enterpriseis similar to GitHub's public service but is designed for use by large-scale enterprise software development teams where the enterprise wishes to host their repositories behind a corporate firewall.
- 6. FINANCE GitHub.com is astart-up business, which in its first years provided enough revenue to be funded solely by its three founders and start taking on employees. In July 2012, four years after the company was founded, Andreessen Horowitz invested $100M in venture capital.
