Overview of the marketplace

“

- [Instructor] Let's explore the GitHub Marketplace before we dive into GitHub Models. There are multiple types of offerings visible on the GitHub Marketplace. You can find GitHub Apps that can do certain actions for a GitHub user, like responding to a comment or an issue, or integrate with the GitHub platform in other ways. GitHub Actions are building blocks for creating workflows that are triggered on events inside of a repository. One of the types of workflows can be an integration pipeline to validate if the code in your repository can still be built or not. GitHub Models is the entry point for this course, so we are diving into that in the next video. The last category is GitHub Copilot Extensions. These are plugable extensions for GitHub Copilot, where the extension can be added to a chat conversation and then retrieve extra information for your Copilot questions. The extension can, for example, go out into your cloud subscription and add information about your resources into the GitHub Copilot functionality. The Marketplace has support for both paid and free offerings. For GitHub Apps, billing can be done through the GitHub Marketplace. For the other categories, it only indicates you need to have a paid plan with the vendor, for example, that is offering the tools to you. GitHub also has verified creators. This is a group of creators that have verified their identity and have made an existing relationship with GitHub. This concept is not available for GitHub Models, currently only for the other categories. The Marketplace is an easy way to find extra tools and then lead you to a page that gives you the information you need to get started. The community can add their work on it for free so that you have a place to go and explore those extra integration endpoints. Let's see how to get to the Marketplace in a short demo. Starting on the homepage, you can find the Marketplace by going to the Menu and then the Marketplace. You can here use the search if you want to. Just be aware that this will search across every option available on the Marketplace, so also GitHub Actions and Apps, so it can be a bit harder to find what you want. You also can't really filter the results on the type of information you want, for example, just Models. Searching, for example, for GPT will show you a lot of GitHub Actions while you are potentially just searching for Models that are available on the Marketplace. You can still filter the results based on either free or paid offerings, filter search only on verified creators, or filter on recently added items or the best match. In the next video, I'll show you the GitHub Models category by itself.
