Installing and Using Github for Android

Installing and Using Github for Android

Posted on April 10, 2020 by Mona Leave a Comment

GitHub is a company that provides hosting for software development version control using Git. Git is a distributed version control system for tracking changes in source code during software development. It is used by programmers for coordinating work and tracking changes in any set of files. GitHub was founded in 2008 as Logical Awesome LLC by Tom Preston-Werner. In 2018, the company was acquired by Microsoft for US$7.5 billion.

GitHub provides distributed version control and source code management, both of which are functionalities of Git, and a host of their features. Programmers are often faced with the challenge of documenting and controlling versions of their code. There might be need to upgrade or revise source code, and the programmer won’t want to lose the original code. GitHub provides the tools to efficiently manage these revisions. Each revision is tagged with a code name, timestamp and name of the person revising.
