GitHub is the best place to share code with friends, co-workers, classmates, and complete strangers. Over two million people use GitHub to build amazing things together.

With the collaborative features of GitHub.com, our desktop and mobile apps, and GitHub Enterprise, it has never been easier for individuals and teams to write better code, faster.

Originally founded by Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath, and PJ Hyett to simplify sharing code, GitHub has grown into the largest code host in the world.

Code Examples in Markdown

Syntax highlighting with GFM

```javascript
function fancyAlert(arg) {
  if(arg) {
    $.facebox({div:'#foo'})
  }
}
```

Or, indent your code 4 spaces

Here is a Python code example
without syntax highlighting:

    def foo:
      if not bar:
        return true

Inline code for comments

I think you should use an
`<addr>` element here instead.
