GitHub is a web-based Git or version control repository and Internet hosting service. It offers all of the distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. It provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

Basically it is Open Source project distribution.

GitHub is a place where developers can host their source code and keep it there without any interruptions instead of keeping it in their own servers where downtime or hard drive failures could occur, It gives you full access over your files so you can select whom you wish to view the files and commit to your project etc..

GitHub is a repository in which to push your code. It's great for collaborating with others on complex projects.

Github is just a primary web platform,which provides developers essential tools which helps in best code practices.Most developers use GITHUB because its simply the best for tool group work.It gives access to open source projects on the internet like Facebook,Microsoft which maintains their code repository on Github.Another amazing feature about Github is the interaction request,you can tell another developer about the changes you wish to merge in their main repository.As a developer you simply need to make use of Github.

GitHub is a Git repository hosting service, but it adds many of its own features. While Git is a command line tool, GitHub provides a Web-based graphical interface. It also provides access control and several collaboration features, such as a wikis and basic task management tools for every project.
