✅ Version Control with Git & GitHub 🗂️

Version control is a must-have skill in web development! It lets you track changes in your code, collaborate with others, and avoid "it worked on my machine" problems 😅

📌 What is Git? 
Git is a distributed version control system that lets you save snapshots of your code.

📌 What is GitHub? 
GitHub is a cloud-based platform to store Git repositories and collaborate with developers.
