  • Github and Git are different

What is Git?

  • Git is a distributed Version Control System (VCS), monitoring your versions and changes locally and sync'ing it up with remote repositories

What is GitHub?

  • However, GitHub is a very versatile tool and people come up with new integrations and off-label uses all the time
