What is Git?

Git is a distributed version control system (VCS) that allows you to track changes made to your files over time.
It acts like a time-traveling machine for your code, enabling you to revert to previous states of your files.
With Git, you can create branches, merge changes, and collaborate seamlessly with other developers.

GitHub is a web-based platform that hosts Git repositories.
It provides a collaborative environment for developers to work together on projects.
Features include issue tracking, pull requests, code reviews, and more.
