 ### GitHub 
 
-Most common at least for me is GitHub, GitHub is a web based hosting service for git. It is most commonly used by software developers to store their code in. Source Code Management with the git version control features as well as a lot of additional features. It allows for teams or open contributors to easily communicate and provides a social aspect to coding. (hence the social networking title) Since 2018 GitHub is part of Microsoft.

 ### GitHub opening page
 
-When you first login to your GitHub account you get a page containing a lot of widgets giving you options of where and what you would like to see or do. First up we have the "All Activity" this is going to give you a look into what is happening with your repositories or activity in general associated to your organisation or account.

 As the repository is so important to GitHub let me choose a pretty busy one of late and run through some of the core functionality that we can use here on top of everything I am already using when it comes to editing our "code" in git on my local system. 
 
-First of all from the previous window I have selected the 90DaysOfDevOps repository and we get to see this view. You can see from this view we have a lot of information, we have our main code structure in the middle showing our files and folders that are stored in our repository. We have our readme.mdbeing displayed down at the bottom. Over to the right of the page we have an about section where the repository has a description and purpose. Then we have lot of information underneath this showing how many people have starred the project, forked, and watching.

-If we scroll down a little further you will also see that we have Releases, these are from the golang part of the challenge. We do not have any packages in our project, we have our contributers listed here. (Thank you community for assisting in my spelling and fact checking) We then have languages used again these are from different sections in the challenge.

 A the top of the page you are going to see a list of tabs. These may vary and these can be modified to only show the ones you require. You will see here that I am not using all of these and I should remove them to make sure my whole repository is tidy. 
 
-First up we had the code tab which we just discussed but these tabs are always available when navigating through a repository which is super useful so we can jump between sections quickly and easily. Next we have the issues tab.

 Issues let you track your work on GitHub, where development happens. In this specific repository you can see I have some issues focused on adding diagrams or typos but also we have an issue stating a need or requirement for a Chinese version of the repository. 
 
-If this was a code repository then this is a great place to raise concerns or issues with the maintainers, but remember be mindful and detailed about what you are reporting, give as much detail as possible.

-The next tab is Pull Requests, Pull requests let you tell others about changes you've pushed to a branch in a repository. This is where someone may have forked your repository, made changes such as bug fixes or feature enhancements or just typos a lot of the case in this repository.

-I believe the next tab is quite new? But I thought for a project like #90DaysOfDevOps this could really help guide the content journey but also help the community as they walk through their own learning journey. I have created some discussion groups for each section of the challenge so people can jump in and discuss.

 The Actions tab is going to enable you to build, test and deploy code and a lot more right from within GitHub. GitHub Actions will be something we cover in the CI/CD section of the challenge but this is where we can set some configuration here to automate steps for us.
