# GitHub

GitHub is a web-based hosting service for git repositories. Git is a version control system for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people. While it is mostly using for programming code, GitHub can be used to host git repositories holding any kind of text documents. GitHub can even be used to host static websites.
