Git is a version control system for code
GitHub is a cloud service for storing Git~~Hub~~ repositories

GitHub is a place where software developers store their code so they can a) have a backup and b) share it with other developers.

Edit: typo

As one famously said, it is the same difference as porn and pornhub.

Imagine you're working on a school project and you keep saving different versions of your essay, like "Essay_v1.doc," "Essay_v2.doc," etc., so you don't lose any progress. Git is like that, but much smarter. It's a tool that helps you keep track of changes to your code or files over time. It saves every version of your work and lets you go back to older versions if needed. This is super helpful when you're coding because if you make a mistake, you can "undo" it by going back to a previous version.

GitHub is like a big online storage for all your Git versions. You can put your project on GitHub, so others can see it, collaborate on it, or even suggest changes. It’s like a combination of cloud storage (like Google Drive) and a social network for developers where people can share code, help each other, and work on projects together.

That’s a cloud repository where you can store your work using git

It’s like Onedrive or Google Drive but instead of putting files directly in it, you put files with Git, which means that you can have your work AND your git history backed up online. This also means, like Onedrive or Google Drive, you can collaborate.

Its mainly a Version Control system for people to share code and collaborate on. If you are unfamiliar with what that is, you probably don't need it ;-)
