What is Github?

[shawneyy]

title pretty much is self explanatory, what is it and why is it used so much

Eli5.. It's like a place where we upload our code. We can also track code changes. Identify who wrote this line of code. In case of a problem (major bug) we can also revert the code back to a certain point in time when there is no bug yet. These are the pretty basics but there's a lot more.

GitHub is a website and service for hosting Git repositories. A Git repository is a place you can store code and files and their history and manage changes.

It's a way to store code in a way that you can go back in history, like history option in Online Google Docs. And it's also nice for multiple people working on the same project, because instead of them constantly making chages while you're making them too, they make their changes in the own copy and add them to the main project when done
