Version control allows collaborative development which makes it easy for teams to work together on projects.

The effective use of version control is important and a useful skill for developers to have in their tool kit.

Git is a version control system which is like a series of snapshots of your code which can be referenced at any time.
GitHub is a web based graphical interface where you can publish your Git repositories and collaborate with other people or teams. Git and GitHub has become the industry-standard version control and publishing platform . Git allows you to track changes and your development process and when used with GitHub it becomes an effective backup mechanism.
