Why move to GitHub?

You may be wondering what this GitHub thing is all about and why you should use it. If this sounds like you, here are a few reasons to make GitHub your project's new home:

• Version control — Everything on GitHub is stored in Git, the best version control system around. Version control allows you to experiment and make mistakes in code without messing up your final product.
• Keep your code in one place — Whether you work on multiple computers or just want to get some important projects off your computer, GitHub is the perfect place to store your projects online.
• Collaboration — Once your code is on GitHub, you can invite others to work on your code with you, share it with the world, or send a link to a friend to help you debug a problem.
