What is GitHub?
GitHub is a collaboration platform built on top of a distributed version control system called Git.
Repositories
A Git repository contains all of the project's files and each file's revision history.
Because Git is decentralized, every clone of a repository contains the complete revision history.
Changes in one repository can be pushed to or pulled from any number of remote repositories.
Repositories
Performing actions on a repository—adding or removing files, committing changes, pulling changes from a remote repository— is done using the command line tool
