class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using Git, developers can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Record changes to source code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Restore previous versions of files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work on new features without affecting the main project<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Merge changes from multiple contributors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Git itself runs locally on a computer and does not require an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Is_GitHub_Different_from_Git\"><\/span>How Is GitHub Different from Git?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the names are often used together, Git and GitHub are different tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Git<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Is a version control system<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Runs locally on a computer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracks changes to files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does not require a cloud service<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>GitHub<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

developers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Provides additional project management features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In simple terms, Git manages code changes, while GitHub provides an online platform where Git repositories can be stored and shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Can_You_Do_with_GitHub\"><\/span>What Can You Do with GitHub?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GitHub offers tools that help individuals and teams manage software projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common features include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hosting Git repositories<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tracking issues and bugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reviewing code

workflows<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These tools help organize development work and simplify collaboration across teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Collaboration_Features\"><\/span>Collaboration Features<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of GitHub&#8217;s most important features is the ability for multiple people to work on the same project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Developers can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create branches for new features<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submit changes for review<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discuss proposed changes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Merge approved code into the main project<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This workflow helps teams develop software more efficiently while reducing the risk of conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GitHub_Marketplace\"><\/span>GitHub Marketplace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">GitHub also provides a marketplace that offers integrations and extensions for additional functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continuous integration and deployment tools<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Security scanning services<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Project management integrations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitoring and reporting tools<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These integrations can be added to repositories to support different development workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_and_Availability\"><\/span>Access and Availability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because GitHub is cloud-based, repositories can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Project owners can choose whether repositories are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Public, allowing anyone to view the code<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Private, restricting access to authorized users only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This flexibility makes GitHub suitable for both open-source projects and commercial software development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
