Continuous software development enables the early identification of potential problems in terms of software code, system integration, and team communication. In the field of software engineering education, usually, software development depends on the particular methodology for evaluating the technical performance of students in terms of software code and system integration of software development. Actually, GitHub is used for mining the information stored in GitHub's event logs, trying to understand how its students to performance on software development. However, there are few studies and experiences describing how GitHub can support continuous software development. In this paper, we present a case study in two software engineering courses at the University of Talca using GitHubTracker. GitHubTracker is a tool for improving continuous software development using the main GitHub's features. The results indicate that student teams were more effective in terms of performance and productivity than the other teams.
