Mid From PDF Version Control Git & GitHub

Explain the difference between Git and GitHub.

Short answer: Git is the tool used to track changes in your code locally (on your computer), whereas GitHub is a platform that hosts Git repositories online, enabling collaboration and sharing.

Explain a bit more

GitHub allows teams to work on Git-based projects in a central location, review code, and manage issues and pull requests. Real-World Example: You use Git to make changes to your website’s code locally. Once you're happy with your changes, you push them to GitHub so your team can see and review the updates. GitHub is essentially a cloud service that works on top of Git.
