GitHub is committed to democratizing software development by building tools that make it more accessible and promoting best practices such as continuous integration and distribution. They have collaborated with fastai to develop nbdev, a literate programming environment for Python that enhances Jupyter notebooks by integrating seamlessly with GitHub to automate documentation, testing, and publishing processes. Nbdev allows developers to write code, documentation, and tests within the same context, promoting inclusivity and higher quality software. It features two-way synchronization between notebooks and source code, allowing easy code navigation and editing, and supports GitHub Codespaces for a streamlined setup. Nbdev's capabilities extend beyond Python software creation, enabling the development of new tools like fastpages for blogging and covid19-dashboards for interactive data visualization. GitHub envisions nbdev as a catalyst for the next generation of literate programming tools, fostering an inclusive and robust software engineering environment.
