GitHub is an incredibly popular platform that is primarily used by programmers to collaborate, track, and share files and code for projects they are working developing and maintaining. Because of features like file sharing, versioning, and tracking GitHub has also found popularity with a multitude of groups outside of developers. In fact, more and more networking teams who are looking to automate network processes find that they need to have a common data source for network information — and GitHub is one of those platforms they turn to in order to implement that source of truth for network data like ACLs, inventory, and more.
