GIT AND GITHUB

What is Git?

 Version Control System : Git is a version control system that allows you
to track changes to your code over time. It's like a time machine for your
projects, enabling you to revert to previous versions, compare changes,
and collaborate with others seamlessly.
 Distributed Nature : Git is a distributed version control system,
meaning each developer has a complete copy of the project's history on
their machine. This facilitates offline work and enables independent
development, making it a very flexible tool.
Why Use Git?

 Track Changes
Git allows you to track every modification made to your project's code,
making it easier to identify the source of bugs and revert to previous working
states.
 Collaboration
Git facilitates collaborative development by allowing multiple people to work
on the same project simultaneously without stepping on each other's toes.
 Backups & Recovery
Git provides a reliable backup system for your projects. You can easily restore
any version of your codebase, even if your local copy is lost or corrupted.
 Code History
Git creates a complete history of your project, allowing you to understand the
evolution of your code and learn from past mistakes.
What is GitHub?

 Version Control
GitHub is a web-based platform that provides version control for your code
projects. Think of it like a time machine for your code, allowing you to track
changes, revert to previous versions, and collaborate with others on your
project.
 Collaboration Hub
Beyond version control, GitHub is a social hub for developers. It provides a
space to share your code, collaborate on projects, find inspiration, and
connect with other developers worldwide.
Why Use GitHub?

 Backups and Recovery


GitHub acts as a secure backup for your code, ensuring that your project is
safe even if your local machine crashes. It allows you to recover any lost or
corrupted files.
 Collaboration and Teamwork
GitHub facilitates collaboration among developers. Multiple people can work
on the same codebase simultaneously, track each other's changes, and
merge their work efficiently.
 Open Source Contribution
GitHub empowers you to contribute to open-source projects, collaborate with
other developers, and learn from their work. This is a valuable way to build
your portfolio and gain experience.
Creating a GitHub Profile

 Step 1:
Go to https://github.com in a web browser, and then
select Sign up
 Step 2:
Enter your email address.
 Step 3: Create a password for your new GitHub account,
and Enter a username, too. Next, choose whether you want
to receive updates and announcements via email, and then

 Step 4:

Verify your account by solving a puzzle.


Select the Start Puzzle button to do
so, and then follow the prompts.
 Step 5:

After you verify your account, select


the Create account button.
 Step 6:
Next, GitHub sends a launch code to your email
address. Type that launch code in the Enter
code dialog, and then press Enter.
 Step 7: Entering the code will automatically take
you to the welcome page. Select your preferences
and click Continue.
Step 8: Select the free plan.
 Step 9: GitHub opens a personalized page in your
