A GitHub account is a personal user account on GitHub, a popular platform for hosting and sharing code, especially for software development projects.
Here's what a GitHub account allows you to do:
✅ Create & manage repositories
A repository (or repo) is a space to store your code, documentation, and project files.
You can create public repos (visible to everyone) or private repos (only visible to you or invited collaborators).
✅ Collaborate with others
GitHub makes it easy to collaborate on projects, track changes in code, and work with teams using tools like pull requests, issues, and code reviews.
✅ Version control with Git
GitHub uses Git, a version control system, to keep track of changes in code over time. It lets you revert, compare, and merge code safely.
✅ Showcase your work
Many developers use their GitHub account as a portfolio to show their coding skills and contributions.
Recruiters and employers often review GitHub activity when hiring developers.
