- It allow developers to roll back to a previous version of their code.
- It simplifies working on a project as a team.
- GitHub is a web based repository that allow developers to work with others online on the same application.
- GitHub acts as a safe store of your application code. When you accidentally delete your code from your local machine, you can easily pull it back from GitHub.
