GitHub’s new Classroom service helps teachers teach students to code

GitHub is determined to make its mark in education.

The popular code repository announced a new service today designed to help computer science teachers manage their courses. It’s no coincidence that the service, dubbed Classroom, also introduces students to GitHub’s reason for existence: software version control.
