Git vs Github. Git is a software system people use to create and keep different versions of their code. GitHub is an online open source platform where people upload their git repositories so that they can have access to it from a different machine and also to give other people access to the code. There are other places online to host your git repositories, but GitHub is the most popular one used by companies and individuals. Think of repository as a folder holding different versions of your code.
