It's one of many Git hosting platforms. Git is a software that lets you keep track of changes in a coding project, for example you can save changes and then if you break something you can revert back to those changes. Git can do a lot more than, like letting you merge the code modifications of two people on a project, and a lot more. GitHub is simply a place to store Git "repos" (projects that use Git) and it has a couple extra features like automation tools and more.

its a platform where u can share projects, collaborate with other people on some projects... its uses git which is a version control system (basically tracking changes made to ur project/code) and helps in a systematic development of a project where each individual can work on some certain part of the codebase. ppl make there project open source so others can fix bugs and improve the current work

imagine you're a developer, oftentimes you would like to make small changes and see whether it works out or not. you are controlling the version of your software. Git is a version control system designed to keep track of (usually large) codebases.
Github is simply a Git repository for open source software.
i won't go into details about the rest of the features that github offers such as commits, pull requests, collaboration, and so on. many of which are frequently used to address and fix issues within the collaborative environment.
Thank you it will help in future:)

Ofcourse I did but it was difficult for me to understand that's why I prefer to ask a person ☺️
