GitHub HELP!
What is Git?
A generic version control system.
It enables you to save a snapshot when developing code.
It enables multiple developers to change the same code - it tracks who changed what.
It then allows you to revert back to previous snapshots if changes are not working/wanted.
What is GitHub?
GitHub is now owned by Microsoft ($7.5B in 2018)
It is an environment that enables coders to collaborate and share their software creations.
It does this by providing a few, primitive functions:
Repositories
Clone
Commit
Push
Pull
Branch
