GitHub has become a valuable tool in education, enhancing student engagement and employability by integrating real-world workflows into the classroom. Since 2012, GitHub Education has been used by approximately 21,000 teachers, and recent research presented at the SIGCSE conference has confirmed that its use predicts positive learning outcomes, such as improved collaboration, project management skills, and a greater sense of belonging in the developer community. Students have reported more effective feedback and understanding through GitHub, though it typically takes 2-2.5 months for them to become comfortable with the platform. GitHub Education has provided its product free of charge to over 100 schools, including prominent universities, to further support the development of 21st-century skills, with the initiative seen as beneficial in diverse educational contexts from liberal arts to crisis mapping.
