GitHub is the largest host for Git repositories and the central point of collaboration for millions of designers, developers, and researchers. Most of the world’s major design systems and open-source projects use GitHub for hosting, issue tracking, and collaborative code/UI review.
In this chapter, we’ll follow Nora as she establishes the SketchSpark organization on GitHub. We’ll cover how Sam and Priya set up their accounts, how the team uses the "GitHub Flow" for design critiques, and how Nora uses GitHub’s administrative tools to protect the project’s integrity. Whether you’re contributing to a massive global design system or managing a tight-knit startup team, GitHub is the platform where design collaboration happens.
