What is Git?

• Distributed Version Control

What is GitHub?

• A place on the Internet to store your repo
• Additional tools to support development
• wikis, issue tracker, gui, PR

Ways to use Git

• Sole local repo
• Local repo => offsite (Github)
• GH Project => fork => local ( => and back)
• Lots and lots of other ways...
