What is GitHub, and how do I sign up?

GitHub is the platform where most software development teams store their code and organize their work. Think of it as a combination of a file storage service (like Dropbox) and a collaboration tool (like Slack), but built specifically for code. You can sign up for a free account at github.com — no credit card required. Teams and companies typically use a paid plan, but the core features work the same way.

Inside GitHub, you have an account (your profile), one or more organizations (representing your company or team), and inside each organization you have repositories (the actual folders of code). You can be a member of many organizations at once. To use Ship, you need a GitHub account that has access to at least one repository where your code lives. If you already use GitHub for email notifications or pull request reviews, you already have an account and you're good to go.
