Google Photos, on the other hand, is used to view pictures and share them among friends and family. One is an editor, while the other is a cloud-based sharing tool. This distinction is important when understanding the relationship between a programming environment or IDE (interactive development environment) like VS Code, Xcode, Eclipse, or JetBrains, and the online service GitHub. Also: How to use GitHub's AI coding assistant for free - and why it's worth a try In this analogy, the programming environment (VS Code) is like Photoshop. It's where you create and modify code. GitHub is the cloud service. It's like Google Photos, in that it's where you share and collaborate with other coders. In this article, we'll talk about GitHub. It's important to realize that GitHub is used to store and track code for collabor ... Read full article.
