GitHub Enterprise Cloud offers a cloud-hosted enterprise product plan (SaaS) for large businesses and teams who need a complete DevOps solution. It provides tools for greater management of an organization's resources using sophisticated security and administrative features, such as SAML single sign-on and Enterprise Managed Users (EMU). GitHub Enterprise Cloud includes support for 50,000 minutes of GitHub Actions runtime for CI/CD workflows and 50GB of storage for shared components and containers. You can learn more about GitHub Enterprise Cloud in our documentation or product page.

GitHub offers thorough documentation around all of its products with detailed how-to guides that walk teams, developers, and administrators through maximizing their investment. You can find GitHub’s documentation at docs.github.com, a centralized place to find the latest information about GitHub’s products, API references, and security guides. This documentation is kept up to date by our documentation teams who also partner closely with engineering, our product teams, and our outside community via open source contributions.

Yes. GitHub offers a complete cloud-hosted developer platform that centralizes project planning, source code management, CI/CD, automation, and application security. GitHub Projects allows you to plan work next to your code with spreadsheets, boards, and roadmaps. It integrates deeply with GitHub Issues to track decision-making, conversations, and project statuses in real-time. This tight integration increases the speed at which you can build, deploy, and scale solutions without context switching between tools.

GitHub offers a vast library of pre-built automation workflow templates that enable organizations to build powerful CI/CD pipelines, enforce environmental policies, and more.

Trying to understand the difference between Git vs. GitHub? Git is the open-source version control system created by Linus Torvalds in 2005; it runs locally on your machine to track file changes. GitHub is the cloud-based platform built on top of Git. It provides the "hub" where developers upload their Git repositories to collaborate, track issues, automate builds (CI/CD), and secure their code. You use Git to work on your computer, and you use GitHub to share that work with your team and the world.
