Git is a distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. It allows multiple developers to work on a project simultaneously without interfering with each other’s changes. Git tracks changes in the source code during software development and enables developers to revert to previous versions, collaborate on code, and manage multiple versions of their projects.
GitHub is a web-based platform that uses Git for version control and is primarily used for hosting and sharing code. It provides a collaborative environment where developers can store their code, track issues, manage projects, and review changes. GitHub also facilitates open-source projects by making it easy for developers to contribute to a project and for project maintainers to manage contributions.
