- We have also reviewed several GitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/ issues related to Office Hours. You can view all open Office Hours tickets and share your suggestions here: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=state%3Aopen%20label%3A%22Office%20Hours%22

Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. at a time. This should make the process more organised and easier for everyone to participate in.
