Github is used to store things. It mainly stores project source codes for programmers. It can also store website pages, papers and other things for other people.

Similar to the network disk, but different from the network disk, it has a version control system, which allows you to view historical versions of files and compare the file contents of various versions. By putting the project on github, you can collaborate with other people to work on the project together, you can also participate in other people's projects, and it also has some social functions.
