Github - the Git revision control system

GitHub is the most popular Git hosting site which provides social networking functionality such as feeds, followers and the network graph to display how developers work on their versions of a repository.

I started using git one year before and i am a great fan of github.It provides 300 MB of free space for creating public repositories. You can also create private repositories under micro plan , for which You will have to pay nominal charges ($7 / month).
