Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system (VCS) used primarily to track changes in source code during software development. It was created by Linus Torvalds in 2005 to manage the development of the Linux kernel.

GitHub is a cloud-based platform that acts as a hosting service for Git repositories, allowing developers to store, manage, track, and share their code. It is the largest code repository in the world, primarily used for version control, enabling collaboration, code reviews, and project management for software development teams.

There is a git and github workshop today at Ambedkar Auditorium TT, VITV.
