They can code in a cloud-hosted development environment, {% data variables.product.prodname_github_codespaces %}, then review each other's code changes with pull requests, using code security features to keep secrets and vulnerabilities out of your codebase. Finally, you can automate your build, test, and deployment pipeline with {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} and host software packages with {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %}. |
