Throughout the project, i will be using GitHub for the version control. Let's have a look at what it is and its area of use.

GitHub

The most widely used modern version control system in the world today is Git. Performance characteristics of Git are very strong when compared to many alternatives. Committing new changes, branching, merging and comparing past versions are all optimized for performance. It is secured, means that with Git, you can be sure you have an authentic content history of your source code.

Git is an open source project and there are countless numbers of existing open source projects being added to Git Repo everyday. This is truly amazing.

This project is the very first project that I will use GitHub for. I have watched the video recommended by our instructor but since i am extremely new to this platform, i have also watched and read additional tutorials from web to learn Git and GitHub from scratch.
