Introduction to Git

What is Git?

• "Open Source Distributed Version Control System"
• Created by Linus Torvalds
• It's an instrument that allows us to manage our code and  the history of its changes

What is GitHub?

• Web service from where we can access Git repositories
• Controlled access to repository by multiple people (contributors) with a nice UI over it
• Gives us a lot more tools like PR-s, Wikis, etc.

You can use Git without GitHub!
