GitHub Developer Program emphasizes integrations
GitHub is reaching out to developers with the formation of a program encouraging them to link to the popular code-sharing site.
The GitHub Developer Program offers resources to work with the GitHub API, which includes features like project management, authentication, and the triggering of code-testing when committing code to GitHub. "Really, almost anything you can do on GitHub, we open up an API for it," said Ryan Day, head of business development at the company.
The program, arriving on the heels of GitHub's offer of bounties to researchers who can find vulnerabilities in its products, is open to developers with a paid GitHub account and who are developing or have developed an integration with GitHub. Sign-up for the program is at GitHub's developer site, and participating developers will receive notifications about changes to the API, as well as early access to select feature releases. They also can request a development license for GitHub Enterprise, the behind-the-firewall version of GitHub.
