Government like you've never imagined.

Collaborate on code, data, or policy, within your organization or with the public.

Upgrade your IT workflow

Git is an open-source version control system that tracks who made what change when across software projects.

Public engagement, private collaboration

Publish open source software on GitHub.com or collaborate privately and securely behind your agency's firewall.

Communicate more, manage less

GitHub's issue tracking tools give you day-to-day visibility into your project's success, without the need for lengthy meetings.

Enterprise controls, startup speed

Collaborate openly while still limiting access to a team, to select stakeholders, or to an entire organization.

In your datacenter or in the cloud

Run GitHub Enterprise in your data center as a secure virtual appliance, or let us host the code for you on GitHub.com.

IT without the paperwork

GitHub.com's terms of service are approved for government use by the GSA, and most plans fall below the micro-purchase threshold.
