Konrad Lawson introduces us to the social aspects of GitHub through forks and pull requests.

A GitHub project is an adaptable spreadsheet, task board, and road map that integrates with your issues and pull requests on GitHub to help you plan and track your work effectively.

GitHub highlighted improvements to its Visual Studio Code extension that lets developers manage pull requests from the open source code repository with a few clicks from within the code editor.
