Description
GitHub is a web-based platform that utilizes Git, a version control system allowing multiple people to work on projects simultaneously without overwriting each other's changes. It provides a space for collaboration and code hosting, where developers can create repositories to store their projects, track changes, and manage versions. Users can clone these repositories, make changes locally, and then push updates back. Advanced features include branching and merging, resolving conflicts, and using .gitignore files. GitHub also offers functionalities like continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) through GitHub Actions, and security measures for your repositories. Expertise involves deep understanding of Git internals, customization, and troubleshooting complex issues.
