WHAT IS GITHUB?

By: Aaron
What is GITHUB?

■ GITHUB is a repository hosting service.


■ Hosts your source code projects in various programming languages
■ Keeps track of the various changes you make and allows you to update your projects
■ All of this is possible by using git which is a revision control system (system that
allows users to make changes to documents and submit them) that runs in the
command line interface
– A command line is a way for users to interact with their computer
Advantages

■ Free and useful for project management


■ Able to accept contributions from the community to help improve your work (and vice
versa)
■ Virtually has all the information you need with its well-padded guide and help
section which contains articles that you can view
■ Meet new developers/friends
Disadvantages

■ Some think that GitHub leans towards the programmers which may not
communicate very well in in layman’s terms
■ May be challenging to learning and getting to grips with the mental model but does
get easier with practice and time
