Git vs GitHub
What GitHub Is
GitHub is an application allowing you to store remote
repositories. (it’s in the name!)
You can interact with your GitHub repository through
the push/pull system on your local machine.
GitHub is used primarily to allow other people to add
to the project (ex. Open source projects)
GitHub allows more people than just yourself to see
and interact with the repository.
The Difference
Git is a source control software allowing you to take
snapshots and distribute your creations &
modifications over time.
GitHub is an application allowing you to store and
interact with your repository on a remote server, as
well as adding more features (eg. Publicity, licensing,
collaborators)
Git is the bones and flesh of source control, while
GitHub gives you the platform to work with your
repository easier.
