# GitHub

Code hosting, issues and pull requests, with search across public repositories and developers.

GitHub hosts Git repositories and the issues, pull requests and discussions around them. Its search covers public code, repositories and users, so it is also a way to find the teams that use a technology and the developers who follow a project.

## Tools

- tool:github/create-issue — Create an issue: Opens a new issue in a repository with a title, body, labels and assignees.
- tool:github/list-stargazers — List stargazers: Returns the users who starred a repository, optionally with when each star was created.
- tool:github/search-code — Search code: Returns files, and the repositories they live in, whose code matches a query such as an import of a package.
- tool:github/search-repositories — Search repositories: Returns repositories that match a query on name, topic, language, stars or owner.
- tool:github/search-users — Search users: Returns GitHub users who match a query such as a name, a location or a follower count.
