Is GitHub is a very powerful platform for programmer
I just logged to GitHub so I am not much familiar with it.

Answer 1

GitHub is like storeroom for codes.
GitHub has a lot of codes by a lot of great programmers.

What you can do on GitHub? :
1.) You can create repos and on that you can post your codes and big projects, it allows you to share your project easily.
2.) You can create public and private repos which allows you to specify access to repos.
3.) You can have shared repos if more than one programmer /contributor is working on same projects.

How to use is? :
1.) Download git bash on your computer.
2.) Goto GitHub and create account/login and create a new repo.
3.) Goto the project folder which you want to upload on GitHub.
4.) Now you're ready to upload with git bash commands.

Apparently so, as there are over 20 million accounts on it and Microsoft recently paid quite a large sum to acquire it.

Answer 3

You have to use the services, in order to understand the power of GitHub. Go to understand the workflow of GitHub, try to create repos of your source codes there, and fork some of the open source codes, make contributions and submitting it by pull request .

Answer 4

Also I would like to add a point that

Github is very useful in team projects
or project which include teamwork.
Because you get to know what your team members have updated or changed (via commit message) etc
