Git

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.

GitHub

GitHub is a provider of Internet hosting for software development and version control.

Development of the GitHub.com platform began on October 19, 2007. The site was launched in April 2008 by Tom Preston-Werner, Chris Wanstrath, P. J. Hyett and Scott Chacon.

It has been a subsidiary of Microsoft since 2018.

As of January 2020, GitHub reports having over 40 million users and more than 190 million repositories.

• Repository: A place for storing "files"". With Git, this means your code folder
• head: A "pointer" to the latest code you were working on
• add: An action to ask Git to track a file
• commit: An action to save the current state — such that one can revisit this state if needed
• remote: A repository that isn’t local. Can be in another folder or in the cloud (for example: Github)
