GIT VS GitHub

in previous article we have know what is GIT ad it's important terms.
but most times we hear the term "Github" is git = github?

actually no. they are not the same thing, so

What is Github?

as mentioned before git opensource technology and it's free to use so some companies have adopted it and made it onto cloud
providing more features and more capabilities.
so we can tell that
GitHub is a web-based platform for hosting Git repositories.
It provides a centralized location for storing and collaborating on Git repositories.
Other similar platforms are GitLab and Bitbucket.

Github also providing some features of devops like CI/CD using Github actions, code reviewing and commuinty where developers can have disccussions and introduce bug reports or ask for features.

as github is allowing you to push your code to public repositories Github is considered as a hug opensource community with a large number of projects in many technologies and programming language
