GitHub is a code hosting platform for version control and collaboration. It enables you and others work together on projects from anywhere, see more https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/. Like Bitbucket, GitHub has made sharing and contributing to code simple and valuable.

See also Git, an indispensable tool in modern software development which serves as some kind of version control system. Git repository is used by many people to maintain their projects files. Visit this site for Git installation alternatives on Ubuntu 14.04 (I hope these methods seamlessly work for other/higher versions of Ubuntu/Linux distributions), although the easiest way to install is by typing the following lines one by one in the command line:
  1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
  2. sudo apt-get update
  3. sudo apt-get install git

Check out here.

After Git installation, you can finally get started with How To Use Git Effectively and How To Use Git Branches.

To get most out of these, create your account at GitHub.com.
