Getting Started with GitHub
Git is a powerful, open-source version control system (VCS) widely used by developers to manage code, track changes, collaborate on projects, and maintain the integrity of software across its development lifecycle. Created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 for Linux kernel development, Git has since evolved to become the de facto VCS for countless open-source and enterprise projects. In this chapter, we’ll explore Git in detail, from basic concepts to advanced features, using simple explanations and practical examples.
