Hello peeps. Upsoft Select is back again with yet another article. In this article we'll collaboratively about Git and Github and the line of difference between them. But first, let's understand what Git and Github are individually.

What is Git ?

It is an open-source project and one of the most popular version control systems. It is a distributed version control system. It is compatible with many operating systems and IDEs. It allows us to track changes in an application, in a folder, or in a single file over time across different users, different computers. Git takes a snapshot of all files whenever we create a new commit. Every committer on a project always has a copy of the whole repository on their machine. So, we can commit to the Git file system also in offline mode.

What is GitHub ?

GitHub is a cloud-based Git repository hosting service. It lets individuals and teams work together on projects. GitHub is an application allowing you to store remote repositories on their servers. It also provides a user-friendly platform to interact with and manage your repositories. It is a public platform that allows millions of users to share their projects worldwide.

The main purpose is to allow people to collaborate together to build projects. But it’s not just limited to collaboration. On top of that, it can be used as a portfolio for your best work. One of the most useful features of GitHub is being able to access your repository from any location. Also, it’s an industry standard for hosting Git repositories.

Whereas GitHub works with Git to add more functionality. For example, store these Git repositories on their servers. GitHub gives a platform to use Git. It is a kind of source tree in a way that allows you to interact with Git in a more user-friendly way.

Git is what builds source control software and GitHub just works with Git to give you a new perspective and new opportunities on the source control software.
