Welcome to GitHub 101

This repository is your beginner's guide to understanding GitHub and how it works. Whether you're a developer, a student, or someone curious about version control and collaboration, you've come to the right place!

What is GitHub?

GitHub is a web-based platform that facilitates version control and collaborative software development. It's a place where developers and teams can work together to build, maintain, and share software projects. GitHub uses a distributed version control system called Git, which allows you to track changes in your codebase, collaborate with others, and manage your project effectively.

Getting Started

Installation

To start using GitHub, you don't need to install anything on your local machine. You can access GitHub through your web browser at https://github.com. Simply create an account, and you're ready to go!

Basic Concepts

Here are some fundamental concepts you should know:

  • Repository (Repo): A repository is where your project lives. It contains your code, documentation, and project history.

  • Commit: A commit is a snapshot of your project at a specific point in time. It records changes to your codebase.

  • Branch: A branch is a parallel version of your repository. You can create branches to work on new features or fix bugs without affecting the main codebase.

  • Pull Request (PR): A pull request is a way to propose changes to a repository. It allows collaborators to review and discuss your changes before merging them.

  • Fork: Forking a repository creates a copy of it in your account. You can make changes in your fork and later send a pull request to the original repository to propose your changes.
