Introduction to GitHub

GitHub is a web-based platform used by developers to collaborate on software projects. It provides version control, issue tracking, and various collaboration features. GitHub uses Git, a distributed version control system, to track changes made to files in a project. It is widely used in the open-source community and by many companies to manage their software development process.

GitHub allows developers to create repositories, which are like project folders that store all the files, code, documentation, and other resources related to a project. Users can clone repositories to their local machines, make changes, and push those changes back to the remote repository on GitHub. This makes it easy for multiple developers to work on the same project simultaneously and keep track of their changes.

GitHub also provides features like pull requests, which allow developers to propose changes to a project and have those changes reviewed by others before merging them into the main codebase. It also offers issue tracking, where users can report bugs or suggest new features, and a wiki system for documenting projects.
