GitHub Account#

GitHub is a developer platform used to collaboratively build and distribute software. It uses Git, which is a widely used version control system.

Version control enables multiple people to work on the same code at the same time, while preserving the history of every change made. Git is a powerful tool every aspiring roboticist should become familiar with.

All the Duckietown software lives on GitHub, and to access and work with it, a GitHub account is needed.
