First of all: What is Github?

Github is a platform where you can document your ideas/projects and share the knowledge with others. Also, the Github provides a task management where you can collect and distribute your tasks.

The content (text, images, PDF or other file types) is stored in a repository. The technology behind this is called Git. Everything that is stored in a repository is also automatically versioned. Saving a file is called commit. Git remembers every commit and it is very easy to track what has been changed since the last commit or commits.
