GitHub vs Git

Git is local. Github is remote.

Git Basics

git add adds a local change to the staging area, which is not synced until git commit

git commit captures a snapshot of the staged changes – just like take a photo of the staged repository.

git push uploads the commited respository to the remote repository.

git pull downloads the remote repository to local.
