What is GitHub?
GitHub is a Git repository hosting service, that hosts your remote repository somewhere on cloud but along with this, it adds many of its own features. Meanwhile Git is a command line tool, and GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface. GitHub also provides collaboration features i.e. wikis, access control and basic task management tools for every project.
