Yesterday I activated the GitHub student package. It’s only valid for six months. I’m not familiar with any of its features, but I’m curious if it has any useful nuances that an architect could use. Perhaps you know more than what AI would suggest. I’d appreciate it if you could recommend something I could take a look at, directly or indirectly
Unless you do coding, there is little use for it.
Its primarily exists to backup and share code on a public cloud using the Git version control tooling.
Of course you can also version control plain text and binary data. But note that Git works only efficient with small files. There is something like GitLFS to also version control larger files (e.g. CAD files), but it requires quite some understanding on how to use it for this case.
Furthermore, if you have code, you can trigger automated actions (“CI/CD” pipeline) on a code commit, such as automatically building and testing your code.
It also offers some tools for collaboration, e.g. issue boards and documentation. But overall its a service for software engineers.
