A lot of people think they’re the same thing… but the truth is they’re completely different!
- ๐ First: Git
Git is a Version Control System. In simple terms: it saves every change you make to your code. You can go back to any old version at any time. You can work on a new feature without breaking the main code. You can merge your work with the rest of the team easily.
- ๐ก In short: Git = the code version manager.
โ๏ธ Second: GitHub
GitHub is an online platform that hosts Git projects. That means you can: upload your project to the internet, share code with your team, create Pull Requests, do Code Review, manage tasks and projects, and run CI/CD easily.
- ๐ก In short: GitHub = the place where you store and share Git projects.
- ๐ฏ The difference in one line
๐ Git = runs on your machine to manage code versions.
๐ GitHub = stores Git projects in the cloud and makes team collaboration easier.
๐ฅ Why should every CRM Developer learn Git?
If you work with: JavaScript, Plugins, PCF Controls, Power Platform, Azure DevOps
Then Git becomes an essential skill, not a luxury. Every change gets recorded, every mistake can easily be undone, and your work with the team stays well organized.
