Summary

GitHub Education has announced the inclusion of Bump.sh in their latest Mobile Development Experience, offering free access to GitHub Students as part of the GitHub Student Developer Pack. Bump.sh, originating from a past incident involving an API change that caused a mobile app service disruption, provides tools for generating API documentation and detecting changes in API contracts. This initiative aims to help students learn to manage APIs effectively, using specifications like OpenAPI and AsyncAPI, and to prevent issues similar to those experienced by the creators of Bump.sh. Students can utilize professional-grade features equivalent to Bump.sh's Pro Plan, including branch management, an API Explorer, release rollback, and automated documentation updates, enhancing their learning and development experience with real-world tools.
