Version control refers to the tracking and traceability of changes. It is, in a way, akin to the use of a bookmark in a book, added by a reader, to mark the point to return to when they resume reading. In version control, a metaphorical bookmark marks a reference to a snapshot of the code base. Git is a version control tool. Using Git, you can make, track, retrieve, and share changes on a repository. GitHub is a hosting service on which a repository resides.
