3.Git vs GitHub:
Git and GitHub are not the same thing.
You do not need GitHub to use git, but there is no meaning in using GitHub without using git.
Git is installed and maintained on your local system but GitHub is exclusively cloud-based.
Git is focused on version control and code sharing. GitHub is focused on centralized source code hosting.
