 Git is a version control system. GitHub is a web-based hosting service for version control using git. You can save all the projects on GitHub. GitHub has given some benefits for students. They recently are providing the student development pack for the students to give access to developers tools for free. Some of these real world tools are too expensive for a student to use. So, for those students who love the education, this could be just great! To get students developer pack, we are going to follow these steps:

1. First you need to make an account on GitHub. Go to this link https://www.github.com/ and sign up for free.
2. After making an account on GitHub, visit the link https://education.github.com/pack/.

3. Click on “Get your pack” button. 
4. Sign with GitHub with your username and password. 
5. Click on the button “Yes, I’m a Student”.

6. Enter your name and verify your academic status. Add a photo of your identity card where it says “Drop file here or click to upload”. 

7. Enter your College/ School’s name and your graduation year.
8. Then, stating appropriate reason on how are you planning to use GitHub, click on the Submit Request. 


GitHub will e-mail you once you get selected for the GitHub Student pack.
