Whether you do or do not have a development background, you have probably heard of GitHub. Very simply put it’s a leading code hosting platform for version control and collaboration. It lets you and others work together seamlessly on projects. GitHub provides frictionless collaboration that opens innovation by reducing the burden of contribution and version management. The key functionality of “forking” enables you to copy a repository from one user’s account to another and modify it on your own account without write access. From there, you can send a “pull request” to the original owner to share the changes that you made. The owner can then choose to merge the changes found in your repository with the original repository.

GitHub enables frictionless collaboration
MindSphere releases deliver advanced industrial IoT capabilities that bring the physical and digital worlds closer together. In the most recent release, the MindSphere MindConnect Library (MCL) was made available on GitHub.
MindSphere on GitHub
By putting the MCL on GitHub, MindSphere has opened collaboration and community expertise for connectivity solutions. The MCL enables secure connectivity from an onsite device to MindSphere. It is a software development kit written in C that enables programming of customer or use case specific connectivity agents by interacting with MindSphere southbound APIs. These southbound APIs facilitate data transmission from assets to MindSphere, securely and efficiently.
