Facilitates collaboration among team members by enabling them to work on the same codebase concurrently, resolve conflicts, and review each other's changes.
Provides a mechanism for developers to request code reviews, discuss changes, and merge code into the main branch after approval.
Offers features for conducting code reviews, including commenting on specific lines of code, suggesting changes, and approving or rejecting pull requests.
Allows administrators to set permissions and access levels for users, restricting who can view, edit, or approve changes to the codebase.
Integrates with continuous integration tools to automatically run tests on code changes, ensuring that new code does not introduce errors or bugs.
