Introduction to Git and Github
Git is a distributed version control system designed to track changes in source code during software development. It allows multiple developers to work on a project simultaneously without interfering with each other's work. Git's key features include:
Local Operations: Most operations in Git are performed locally.
Branching and Merging: Git supports powerful branching and merging capabilities, allowing developers to experiment with new features safely.
GitHub is a web-based platform that uses Git for version control and provides additional features to facilitate collaboration among developers. It offers:
Repository Hosting: GitHub hosts Git repositories, making it easy to share code with others.
Collaboration Tools: GitHub includes tools for issue tracking, code review, and project management.
Community and Networking: Developers can connect, collaborate, and contribute to open-source projects on GitHub.
Together, Git and GitHub streamline the development process, making it easier for teams to manage and collaborate on code.
