What is Version Control?

● Track Changes: Every modification you or your team makes is saved, so you can always look back at older versions or undo

changes.

● Collaborate Seamlessly: Multiple developers can work on different features or fix bugs without conflict.

● Backup Your Work: Your code is safely stored online, so you can access it anytime, from anywhere.

What is Git?

Git is a version control tool that helps manage your code and track changes across your project. It works on your local machine and

allows you to:

● Create branches to work on new features.

● Merge changes back into the main project.

● Commit your changes, like saving a snapshot of your work.

What is GitHub?

GitHub is an online platform that stores your Git repositories and helps you collaborate with others. It provides:

● Repositories: A place to store your project's files.

● Pull Requests: A way to propose and discuss changes before merging them into the main project.

● Issues: A way to track bugs or new features.
