Well, git is a SCM (source control manager) software while GitHub is an online hosting service built around git

What exactly do you want to know / are confused?

git is just a locally installable software.

GitHub is a popular online platform; having GitLab and BitBucket as alternatives. You might even host by yourself, like Gitea.

But you don't really have to send your files online in the first place.

Ok thanks for the info

Git is a technology used for source control. It's open source, and can be used by anyone in a lot of different ways. But there's some setup involved.

GitHub is one of many companies that let you use Git without setting up a lot of stuff yourself, like a server to keep the code private or for sharing publicly.
