Source control, CI, code review, packages, and copilot — under one roof.
GitHub is the de-facto home for source-controlled work on the public internet — repositories, pull requests, code review, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, GitHub Packages as a private registry, Issues for tracking, and Copilot for in-editor AI. For the Dojo it's the substrate every other tool plugs into: OpenClaw runs out of repos, Astro-Knots sites deploy from repos, the Lossless monorepo lives in repos.
