Abstract

When you code, you need to have a location to store it and share that code with others to work with it and review it. Tools called code repositories are ideal ways to do this, and there are several different types that are available for developers to use; one of the most popular is GitHub, and we will explore it here. GitHub, in the context of this book, is a tool that you can use on your own. I’m introducing it here, because as you get more familiar with programming, you’ll find it to be an indispensable tool.
