Overview
Syracuse University provides GitHub, a powerful collaboration platform for software development and beyond, to its active students, faculty, and staff. While GitHub is renowned for hosting code, it's also invaluable for managing any text-based projects like configuration files, project documentation, and more, thanks to its robust version control and collaborative features.
