GitHub collaboration features
Use issues, projects, forks and README files.
📖 Key ideas
- Issues track bugs, tasks and ideas.
- GitHub Projects boards organise work.
- Fork a repo to contribute to projects you don't own.
- README.md explains the project; LICENSE sets usage rights.
- Discussions and wikis support communities.
💡 Real-life example: Forking is photocopying someone's notebook so you can suggest improvements without touching theirs.
