Let's Start

In order to know about the GIT, lets understand a term called version control.

Version Control

Version control let user to create changes in their code in near future to improve the apps or sites. The version control tracks all the changes made in the code and also revert the changes if there is need to do so.

Now let’s jump over to the GIT and GITHUB..

What is Git?

Git is open-source version control system created by Linus Torvalds in 2005. Git also makes collaboration easier with different developers to make changes in the same project. Git also let multiple developer to work in same project with their specific branch.

So, if you’re working alone or in group of developers GIT is always beneficial for you.

What is GitHub?

GitHub is for-profit company that offers cloud-based git repository hosting service. Anyone can sign up there and host their code repository for free.

Summary

As a new coder, ones get confused about these two words. The Git and GitHub are different from each other in many aspects.
Git is a version control system which is kind of tool that manage our source code history and it is installed and maintained locally in our system. In other hand, GitHub is a hosting service for Git repositories and this is based on the cloud.
