GitHub is an online cloud service (online storage) which simplifies collaboration in IT projects. It is based on the software Git. The combination provides tools for solving conflicted versions of a file, merging different edits in the same document and backing up your project.

The benefits of GitHub are threefold:

• Collaboration (your team can work together on the code)
• Cloud (your app is stored in the internet and can be accessed via smartphones)
