GitHub Classroom

GitHub Classroom is a free platform that integrates with GitHub to help instructors manage and distribute coding assignments. It automates repository setup for each student, simplifies feedback and grading, and enables collaboration using real-world development tools.

With GitHub Classroom, instructors can automatically create individual or group repositories for assignments, use GitHub for version control and code review, and set up autograding through GitHub Actions or custom scripts. It also works seamlessly with Canvas to streamline assignment distribution.
