Similar to the network disk, but different from the network disk, it has a version control system, which can view the files of version history and compare the contents of different versions. When you get a project on github, you can collaborate with others, do this project together, participate in other people's projects, and have some social functions.
Introduction to github:
GitHub was officially launched on April 10, 2008. Besides hosting Git code repository and basic Web management interface, it also provides functions such as subscription, discussion group, text rendering, online file editor, collaborative map (report) and code fragment sharing (Gist). At present, its registered users have exceeded 3.5 million, and the number of hosted versions is also very large, including many well-known open source projects Ruby? On Rails, jQuery, python, etc.
On June 4th, 20 18, Microsoft announced that it would acquire GitHub, a code hosting platform, through a $7.5 billion stock transaction.
