aumnia.comQ: Don’t I have to use GitHub?

GitHub is a Git repository hosting service

You can run GitHub locally on your own machine, you can host your own Git server, or you can use other services like Atlassian’s BitBucket (https://bitbucket.org/)

However, there are so many open source projects and resources on GitHub, that it is a great place to collaborate and share code

A: No, you do not

aumnia.comTo get started, go to the Git site
