What is GitHub?

GitHub is a platform for version control and collaboration. It lets you and others work together on projects from anywhere. GitHub hosts your code and keeps track of changes made to it using Git, a distributed version control system.

Key Features:

• Version Control: Track changes to code and manage different versions.
• Collaboration: Work on projects with multiple contributors, make pull requests, and review each other's work.
• Issue Tracking: Use GitHub issues to track bugs, feature requests, and tasks.
• Pull Requests: Propose changes to a project, collaborate, and merge code.
