GitHub is a web-based platform used for version control and collaborative software development. It uses Git, a distributed version control system, to help manage code repositories.
Uses of GitHub:
- Version Control: Track changes to code over time, revert back to previous states, and manage different versions of a project.
- Collaboration: Multiple developers can work on the same project simultaneously, merge changes, and resolve conflicts efficiently.
- Code Review: Facilitate code reviews through pull requests, allowing team members to discuss and review changes before they are merged.
- Project Management: Organize and manage project tasks using issues, labels, and project boards.
- Documentation: Host project documentation using README files and GitHub Pages.
- Open Source: Contribute to and collaborate on open-source projects hosted on GitHub.
