GitHub (platform)

GitHub is an online platform designed for developers to collaborate on software projects. At its core, it uses a version control system called Git, which allows multiple people to work on the same codebase without conflicting changes. Users can track changes, propose modifications, and manage different versions of their projects. GitHub also serves as a social network for developers, where they can share their work, contribute to others' projects, and showcase their portfolios. It is widely used for open-source projects and helps streamline the programming process through collaboration and transparency.
