Thanks for the article! Would like to clear some pointers here

Git:

  • Open source decentralised version control system.
  • It helps track changes in the code base, Thus enabling easier contribution to a single project across multiple users.
  • The main goal of git is to enable lot of people to work on a single project without causing major conflicts between on another.
  • Git natively is just a mere system that could be hosted and configured by one on any Computer.

GitHub:

  • Github is a mere cloud service that hosts your Git projects on 'their' cloud along with other value added services.
  • [Oversimplification Warning] In a nutshell Github is git that is hosted on some else's computer
