Step by Step Guide to configure GitHub on vscode

Git:
 Git allows you to keep track of changes in your code over time, including who made the
changes and why.
 Git makes it easy to work on different features or fixes by creating separate branches,
then merging them back into the main project when ready.
 Git is typically used via the command line (CLI), though there are graphical interfaces
available.
Use Case:
You would use Git to manage versions of your code on your local machine, enabling you to:
 Track changes over time.
 Revert back to a previous state if something breaks.
 Collaborate with others without overwriting each other's work.
GitHub:
 GitHub is a web-based platform built on top of Git, providing a collaborative
environment for storing, sharing, and managing Git repositories in the cloud.
 Developers can explore public repositories, fork projects, and contribute to open-source
software.
Common GitHub Actions:
 Push to GitHub: You can push your local Git repository to GitHub, making it available
online.
 Pull Requests: Developers propose changes by creating pull requests, allowing team
members to review, discuss, and merge changes into the main branch.
 Forking: You can copy someone else's repository into your own GitHub account to make
changes or contribute.
