# What is Git?

Git is a tool that helps you track changes in your code. It allows you to save different versions of your work and go back to them if needed.

# **What is GitHub?**

GitHub is a website where you can store your Git projects online. It lets you share your code with others, collaborate with teammates, and manage your projects in one place.

# Why do we need to use git and Github?

### Version Control:

Git helps you track and manage changes to your code, so you can go back to previous versions if something goes wrong.

### Collaboration:

GitHub allows multiple people to work on the same project at the same time without overwriting each other's work.

### Backup and Sharing:

GitHub stores your code online, providing a backup and making it easy to share your projects with others or showcase your work
