What is Git?
Git is a version control system that lets you track changes to your code over time. It allows you to experiment with new ideas using branches, compare changes with diffs, rewind mistakes with resets and reverts, and understand your project's full history through logs.
What is GitHub?
GitHub is a platform built on Git fundamentals. It's where developers host projects, share code, review changes, manage issues, and work together. GitHub is the industry-standard platform for collaboration and open source.

- Work safely without breaking the codebase or live site.
- Collaborate with teams and contribute to real-world projects.
