GitHub

The dominant code hosting platform and the distribution channel for AI coding assistants and agents.

What GitHub is

GitHub hosts the open-source code that trained today's code models, and integrates AI assistance into editors, pull requests and continuous integration.

How it works

Assistants provide inline completion and chat inside editors, and agentic workflows open pull requests that go through normal review.

Why it matters

Review workflow is where AI-generated code is actually controlled, which makes this layer central to safe adoption.
