Whether maths and physics are your favorite subjects in school , you want to pursue a career in IT , you are interested in coding or programming... then you must know about Git and GitHub.
Nowadays even the little ones , who are really smart and know how to use smartphones smartly , have started writing computer programs. By the time you reach college, you should definitely forget about Facebook , Insta or Threads, etc. and look for social programs that will help you in your career.
One such program is ' GitHub ', which should not be mistaken for just a social platform.
At first glance, Git and GitHub are systems for coders or developers , but they are not so limited. It can also be useful for people not directly related to web or app development.
It is a platform on which developers of various programs gather , upload their own open source code and extend the open code of others in their own way.
You may know that when an app is being developed and even after its official version is released, there are constant updates to it , which we call ' versions ' .
When many different developers are working on an app, there should be some mechanism whereby a specific version of the app can be saved and yet, different developers can work on it.
The term ' Git ' in GitHub refers to an open source version control system developed by a developer named Linus Trovaldus who developed the Linux system . There are many other version control systems but Git is the most popular among them. Developers prefer Git as Git version control system stores changes to files related to the app very efficiently and maintains the integrity of the files well.
The word ' hub ' means the center or axis of a wheel. Accordingly, GitHub provides a system that acts as a hub in the circle of different developers or app development stages.
Developers who are doing app development for open source project or business can open their account on GitHub and host their program code in it. Other developers on the team can upload the code of the new version by making their own changes to the version they downloaded from here.
Git's workflow
If you are interested in GitHub after reading this article, you will find many tutorials on it on the internet. In addition , an Australian engineer named Richard Zaho on his site ( cloudstudio.com.au) This infographic on Git and GitHub will make it easy to understand. You put some code in a working directory , modify it , push it to the cloud , like GitHub , when it's ready. From here others will fetch or pull it back , merge it with their own code or start almost from scratch, and so the whole cycle continues.
GitHub is mostly used for open source code , but other uses are also possible.
