# GitHub
> GitHub is a developer platform for building, shipping, and maintaining software. It provides cloud-based Git repository hosting, CI/CD via GitHub Actions, project management with Issues and Projects, code review via pull requests, AI-powered development with GitHub Copilot, and APIs (REST and GraphQL) for automation and integration.
GitHub documentation is available at https://docs.github.com. The content covers GitHub.com (cloud), GitHub Enterprise Server, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
## Programmatic access (retrieve markdown via APIs instead of parsing HTML)
To retrieve full article content, page lists, or search results programmatically, please use the APIs below. These APIs return structured markdown and JSON and are the preferred way for LLMs and automated tools to access GitHub documentation.
- [Page List API](https://docs.github.com/api/pagelist/en/free-pro-team@latest): Returns every docs page path for a given language and version
- [Article API](https://docs.github.com/api/article): Returns the full rendered content of any docs page as markdown. Example: `curl "https://docs.github.com/api/article?pathname=/en/get-started/start-your-journey/about-github-and-git"`
- [Search API](https://docs.github.com/api/search): Search across all docs content. Example: `curl "https://docs.github.com/api/search?query=actions&language=en&version=free-pro-team@latest"`
## Building with GitHub (for coding agents and automation)
- [Extend Copilot Chat with MCP](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/provide-context/use-mcp/extend-copilot-chat-with-mcp): Connect MCP servers to Copilot Chat to share context from other applications.
- [Use the GitHub MCP Server](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/how-tos/provide-context/use-mcp/use-the-github-mcp-server): Learn how to use the GitHub Model Context Protocol (MCP) server to interact with repositories, issues, pull requests, and other GitHub features, directly from Copilot Chat.
