Storing your code in a "repository" on {% data variables.product.github %} allows you to:
* **Showcase or share** your work.
* **Track and manage** changes to your code over time.
* **View and Manage** the history of your code changes tracked by Git.
* Let others **review** your code, and make suggestions to improve it.
* **Collaborate** on a shared project, without worrying that your changes will impact the work of your collaborators before you're ready to integrate them.

Collaborative working, one of {% data variables.product.github %}’s fundamental features, is made possible by the open-source software, Git, upon which {% data variables.product.github %} is built.
