What programming languages are supported?

Asked 5 months ago
GitHub supports a wide array of programming languages, making it a versatile platform for developers. Some of the most commonly used languages include JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Java, PHP, C#, C++, TypeScript, and Go. Additionally, GitHub's repository features support various frameworks and libraries associated with these programming languages. In recent years, GitHub has also embraced support for more niche and emerging languages, such as Rust, Swift, Kotlin, and R. The platform provides tools for collaboration and version control for any text-based file, meaning users can work with languages that may not have widespread adoption yet. Developers can utilize features like GitHub Actions for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment pipelines that can be tailored to their language of choice. For detailed information about specific language support, looking on GitHub's official documentation or browsing their community discussions section may yield helpful insights.
