When people say “GitHub,” they often mean the public, open-source website www.github.com — where anyone can browse and contribute to millions of public code repositories.But that’s not what we’re talking about here.At UCSF, we offer two secure, enterprise-grade GitHub environments through our UCSF GitHub Enterprise Program — both designed to support your development work safely and effectively:

Choose the right GitHub at UCSF: Use On-Prem for P3/P4 data, Cloud for general dev—both are secure, UCSF-licensed, and free to use.

The UCSF GitHub Enterprise Program provides UCSF staff/affiliates with access to collaborative version control and source code management (Paid for by IT Governance Roadmap Funds). Source code control systems are essential for collaborative software development, enabling code reuse, management, and integrity. 

Find answers to common questions about UCSF GitHub Enterprise, data use, access, and choosing the right platform for your project.
