What is GitHub?

GitHub is a cloud-based platform that uses Git to store, manage, and track changes to software code. It provides a collaborative environment where developers can host repositories, review code, manage projects, and automate workflows using integrated tools. By offering a centralized space for version control, it allows multiple contributors to work on the same project simultaneously while keeping a detailed history of all modifications.
