What is Git?


GitHub is a web-based platform for version control and collaboration, primarily used for software development. It allows developers to store, manage, and track changes to their code using Git, a distributed version control system.

Key Features of GitHub:

  • Repositories (Repos): Store code and track changes.
  • Branches & Merging: Work on different features separately and merge changes when ready.
  • Pull Requests (PRs): Propose, review, and discuss changes before merging them.
  • Issues & Discussions: Track bugs, features, and collaborate with a team.
  • Actions & CI/CD: Automate workflows, testing, and deployments.
  • GitHub Pages: Host static websites directly from a repository.
  • Security & Permissions: Manage access and security of code.

Since we're working with some programming languages, GitHub can be useful for managing our project's versions, collaborating, and deploying updates efficiently.
