Git & Github

Git and github occassionally get used interchangably.

Github is a commercial, centralized repository that is free for open source use. It has become the home of millions of git projects because of its reliability and free use.

It is also the tool we use to track issues, and submit pull requests.

git is a tool to keep track of changes in a code base in an enviornment where no codebase can be thought of as THE code base. It is what does the commits and patching of your code.
