# GitShowcase Forum

> GitShowcase Forum is where people ask and answer practical questions about shipping developer projects: dev tools, APIs, infrastructure and portfolios.

Threads open with a short, self-contained answer, then the discussion. Posts marked Staff are written by the forum team and cite primary sources. Dates on every post are machine-readable. Each thread is also available as Markdown: replace the trailing slash of its URL with `.md`.
