It also provides access control and several collaboration features, such as wikis and basic task management tools for every project.

To conclude the definitions,

1. We can track progress of our projects using git.
2. We can create different git repositories of different versions of our project.
3. We can host it on cloud using git-hosting-service named GitHub.
4. GitHub provides accessibility and features for enhancing developer experience.
5. Congratulations !!! Git and GitHub are not same anymore.

Thanks for sticking by. There's a lot more to come. Thank you !!😀
