This document provides an introduction to Git and GitHub. It explains that Git is a tool that allows users to have local control over source files, while GitHub is a service for sharing and collaborating on projects in the cloud. It then discusses the relationships between the local, origin, and upstream repositories. The document guides users through the basic workflow of forking a project, cloning it locally, and adding a remote. It also covers commands for making and sharing code changes like adding, committing, fetching, rebasing, and pushing files. The overall goal is to empower users to get started with version control and open source contribution.
