Introduction to GitHub

GitHub :
        Firstly Git and GitHub are not the same things. As discussed in the previous blog post  "Git is a tool for managing project locally whereas GitHub is a repository hosting service for your project."
        like GitHub, we also have other Git hosting services like GitLab, BitBucket, etc.
        With GitHub, we can store our project (repositories containing source code files) online so that anyone can see and make changes in the project to improve the project.
        GitHub allows other developers (collaborators) to contribute to the project, even if they are not physically at the same place.
        For more info read GitHub on Wikipedia.
