GitHub is where the world builds software, and around the world, there's a whole lot of software being written in C++. The language consistently ranks in the top languages used by repositories hosted on GitHub, according to the yearly "State of the Octoverse" report. GitHub offers solutions to problems that every professional C++ developer will encounter at some point.
Learn how to use Actions to automate tasks, IDE extensions to stay focused on your task at hand, and Codespaces to all but eliminate the hassle of configuring a development environment. Elevate your skills by going beyond the well-known version control and pull-requests features of GitHub with these features that every C++ developer should know and use.
