What is GitHub?


GitHub is a web-based graphical user interface for Git, a command-line tool, which adds many of its own features. GitHub also provides access control and several collaboration features, such as wikis and basic task management tools for each project. It can be used by product and project managers for better team communication, managing issues and sharing content.
