What is Git?

Git is a command-line version control system that enables users to manage and keep track of source code history. This allows users to fork and play around with open-source code without messing with the original code.

What is GitHub?

A web-based Git repository hosting service that enables users to manage projects. It has three main features:
*Share your repositories with others
*Access other user's repositories
*Store remote copies of your repositories (GitHub servers) as a backup of your local copies

So what?

Git and GitHub are commonly used in open-source and commercial development projects. The two enable teams to effectively collaborate on and manage projects regardless of size and complexity. Multiple developers are able to work separately and together without worrying about overwriting others' work or making irrecoverable changes.

How does this work?
