GitHub is a platform where developers come together to shape the future of software. With over 100 million users, it offers tools to contribute to open source projects, manage Git repositories, review code, track bugs and features, and power CI/CD and DevOps workflows. It prioritizes code security.
GitHub is a powerful platform for developers to collaborate on software projects, but it may not be ideal in terms of GDPR compliance due to potential violations of data minimization, lack of consent, and failure to fulfill data subject rights. As a non-EU company, GitHub may not fully adhere to the strict data protection regulations outlined by GDPR. Alternatives that prioritize GDPR compliance include GitLab and Bitbucket.
