Git is basically a distributed version control system for software development. It is used to store the changes in the code. also, manage multiple versions of the code and collaborate with others on a software project. Git keeps track of every change made to the code and allows developers to go back again to previous versions if it's needed. It is a local storage software.

GitHub is a web-based platform that showcases the projects you make. Also It makes it easier for developers to work together on a project by allowing them to share their code if they are not present in the same place. Suppose me and one of my friends are working on a project but we are in different cities, at that moment we can use GitHub to share each other's code, and build the project. Github also provides tools for code review, project management and bug tracking. As well as we also can host our website on GitHub.

To use Git and Github, you need to create a repository. A repository is a place where all the files related to a project are stored. You can create a repository on your local machine using Git or on Github’s website. Once you have created a repository, you can add files, make changes and commit these changes to the repository.

Collaborating on a project using Git and Github is easy. When multiple people work on the same project, they can each clone the repository and make changes. When they are ready to share their changes, they can push their changes to the GitHub repository by sending push request. GitHub will then keep track of all the changes made by different people and merge them into a single version of the code.
