Git versus GitHub

A Git repository is the storage of code snapshots. It provides a staging area and working directory for Git clients to control.

On the other hand, GitHub provides additional tools around the Git repository. For example, GitHub provides the following:

  • It provides a web interface to view source code.

  • It provides a web interface to change files.

  • It tracks the issues in our work.

  • It provides collaboration through code comments and discussion.

  • It provides a web interface to render README files into styled HTML format.

  • It provides a wiki with additional documentation.
