offers GitHub a platform for collaborative software development, enabling version control, project management, and team coordination for code-based projects. Despite its focus on software development, GitHub can be used for collaborating on and or version-controlled projects such as assets, or sharing any type of files that could benefit from version tracking and collaboration. This way, everyone can work collaboratively together while tracking change history and any related approvals if needed.
