Git has a fairly steep learning curve, other version control systems might be more intuitive but are not as widely used. Only a few commands are needed, e.g. status, add, remove, commit, push, etc. and then usage is simple. Git works locally, a remote server is optional. When using a remote server, it can be located anywhere accessible via HTTP or SSH.<ref name="eevb"/><ref name="eevb"/><ref>[http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1004936/how-to-use-git How to use Git?], Stack Overflow</ref>
GitHub, GitLab and other sites are git repository hosting service, they offer the functionality of git as well as adding their own features. Having a centralized repository allows people to collaborate on projects.<ref name="eevb"/><ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GitHub GitHub], Wikipedia</ref>
