GitHub

The version-control backbone behind the site, giving structure, history and a reliable way to move changes into production.

What it is

GitHub is where the code for this site lives. It acts as the central source of truth and connects the local build process to deployment.

What I use it for

I use it to store the project, track changes, commit updates and give Vercel a reliable source to deploy from.

Where it works well

It works well when you want a clear record of what changed, when it changed and how the live version is being managed over time.

Drawbacks or limits

If you are new to Git and version control, the terminology and workflow can feel technical at first. It gets easier once the basic rhythm becomes familiar.Personally I’ve utilised Codex to run this for me, removing the need for deep technical understanding.

Who should use it

Useful for anyone building digital products who wants a more controlled, transparent and resilient way of managing code.

My verdict

GitHub has been foundational. It is not the most glamorous tool in the stack, but it is one of the most important because it gives the whole workflow structure.
