Git vs. GitHub: What's the difference?

What is Git and what is it used for? What is the difference between Git and GitHub, or GitLab?

In this lightboard video, Nathan Hekman with IBM Cloud, answers these questions and much more by using an example of a media streaming company that has two developers who need to write code at the same time on the same code base without conflicting with each other in order to build a new music streaming app.

Plot twist: the video is NOT flipped....he's just really good at writing backwards 🤣

I been learning git and github following directions but not fully understanding what I was doing. After watching this video I understand exactly what I was doing and have more of an understanding to start building some projects with git & github. Thank you for the illustrations they really help.

I didn't know Mr.Beast was so good at explaining tech concepts. Good job Jimmy.

Thank you Nathan and IBM Technology for the great content. You guys put a lot of effort to make things easy for us to understand. Keep up the awesome work.

Simple, crystal clear with examples.. perfect 👌

some of the most informative prog/comp/IT videos on youtube, good work

Excellent vid. Just some quick questions which are probably obvious to everyone else:

1) How does Greg know a PULL-MERGE is required, did a PUSH attempt fail?

2) Does Git interrogate and analyze the code inside the file and highlight the specific conflicts or is it just file name, file size and timestamps?

3) Does GitHub/Lab automatically push a notification to whom ever is responsible for answering the PULL-REQUEST?

4) Is there a part two vid clearing up the Greg stages of interaction with the main branch?

Just blown away by his ability to write and draw in reverse so fluidly 😸 lol

This is by far the best among the many videos I've watched to get the basics of Git & Github. Keep up the awesome and simplified explanations.

I keep coming back to this channel for clear and straight-to-the-point information. Thank you for your explanation.

I wonder how you people have matched Hekman's hand movements with the writing in inverse on the screen. I find this technology truly amazing !! I MEAN WOWW!!

[landertee]

I can't stop focusing on how good Nathan can write backwards

[yatin]

Coming off an Udemy course on the topic, this was a best revision recap. Absolutely the essence, straight to the point!

[iconeers]

well to be honest, am impressed by his delivery of the concept in the difference between Git and Github

[rahulborade]

This is just simple - to - understand knowledge, Thanks Nathan!

[edwindersingh]

Nice and simple explanation Nathan, looking forwards to more.

[BSTisBaCk]

This is really simple, accurate, and flawless. Thank you so much

[johannes.sbw-media]

If Nathan and Greg work on different branches there will be no merge conflict

[carsten]

I never understood why ppl called it PR, but now I can understand it, thanks!

[popedavid]

Thank you!!! Someone who finally simplifies it! Great job!
