Github is a place where you can post your code like you post on any other social media platform!😍. This means you will be able to access your code files of your platform online irrespective of whether you have your laptop or not!🎉

Not only that, you can also:

-- create unlimited repositories(posts)
-- contribute to other repositories(add code)

GitHub is amazing! And it does help you find a job in more ways than you'd think - for example, our startup has built a platform where you can connect your profile to GH and it gives you an overview of your progress as a developer. Plus, you can set your profile to "actively looking for work" to get matched with jobs.
Anyways, yes, version control is SO important and GH does a great job in helping you manage code changes and errors, especially for large codebases. A must-have for new and experienced devs :)
