I don't think it's everything, but the UK gov has a github account where you can do just that https://github.com/alphagov

alphagov is GOV.UK and shared services which are part of the "Government as a Platform" service line. Things like GOV.UK Notify (Twilio), GOV.UK Design System (Bootstrap), GOV.UK Service Manual (Ops manual), GOV.UK PaaS (Heroku, now defunct), and so on.

Every major UK government department has their own GitHub orgs:

- Healthcare, NHS: https://github.com/nhsuk/

- Education, DFE: https://github.com/DFE-Digital

- Justice, MOJ: https://github.com/ministryofjustice

- Taxes, HMRC: https://github.com/hmrc

And on and on the list goes.

Many things are private, but the 10th UK Government Design Principle is "make things open: it makes things better" https://www.gov.uk/guidance/government-design-principles#mak...
