Introduction to Git and GitHub

What is Git?

  • Git is a distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code during software development.
  • It helps developers collaborate, manage versions, and keep a history of changes.
  • Key features include branching, merging, and the ability to work offline.

What is GitHub?

  • GitHub is a web-based platform that uses Git for version control and provides additional features for collaboration.
  • It hosts repositories online, allowing multiple developers to work on projects simultaneously.
  • Offers tools like pull requests, issues, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD.

Why Do They Need Git and GitHub?

  • Collaboration: Multiple developers can work on the same project from different locations.
  • Version Control: Keeps track of changes, so you can revert to previous states if needed.
  • Backup: Code is stored remotely, reducing the risk of losing work.
  • Documentation: Changes and project history are documented, making it easier to understand the evolution of the project.
