GitHub is a web-based platform that hosts Git repositories and provides developers with tools to ship better code through command line features, issues, pull requests, code review, or the use of a collection of free and for-purchase apps in the GitHub Marketplace. Version control, also known as source control or revision control, is software used to track revisions, solve integration conflicts in code, and manage changes to a file or set of files over time so that you can recall specific versions later. Git is an open-source distributed version control system that helps software teams create projects of all sizes with efficiency, speed, and asynchronicity. GitHub allows users to host Git repositories and facilitates easy sharing and collaboration on projects with anyone at any time. By using GitHub for version control, users can keep track of their work, easily navigate among the many versions of the files they create, and maintain an online backup. Additionally, GitHub allows for collaboration on projects by assigning tasks to different users, making it clear who is responsible for which part of the analysis, and asking certain users to review code.
