What is
• At a high level, GitHub is a website and cloud-based service that helps
developers store and manage their code, as well as track and control
changes to their code.
• GitHub is a for-profit company that offers a cloud-based Git repository
hosting service. Essentially, it makes it a lot easier for individuals and
teams to use Git for version control and collaboration.
• GitHub’s interface is user-friendly enough so even novice coders can
take advantage of Git. Without GitHub, using Git generally requires a
bit more technical savvy and use of the command line.
