What is Git? What is GitHub? What is the difference between Git vs GitHub?

Git is a type of software known as a Version Control System (VCS), which you can run locally on your computer to keep track of the different versions of your projects.

GitHub is a cloud-based web service for hosting projects that are tracked with Git, where you can store and track your projects across different versions. Both Git & GitHub are used for version control, but Git is on your local machine while GitHub is in the cloud.
