Why Git & GitHub?
In today's fast-paced development environment, version control is a must-have skill.
Git is a distributed version control system that allows multiple people to work on a project simultaneously without overwriting each other's work. It helps track changes, manage different versions of code, and revert back to previous states if needed.
GitHub, on the other hand, is a platform built around Git that provides a web-based interface to manage Git repositories. It offers collaboration features, issue tracking, and hosting services, making it easier for developers to work together, share their work, and contribute to open-source projects.
