    #GitHub vs git

git (lowercase) is a version control system. There are many like it, but this one is ours.
It is free and available for anyone to use. git is usually used from a command prompt.
GitHub is a company that allows you to save your code to their servers so that anyone can access it from anywhere.
GitHub relies on git to manage the state of your code. GitHub has created an app that you can use to issue git commands,
so you don't have to use the command line if you don't want.

This is a getting-started guide for the command line.
