- What are Git hub and Git bash?

GitHub is a version management and collaboration tool for programming. It allows you and others to collaborate on projects from any location. This course covers the fundamentals of GitHub, such as repositories, branches, commits, and pull requests. You’ll make your own Hello World repository and learn how to use GitHub’s pull request procedure, which is a popular means of writing and reviewing code. Git Bash is a Microsoft Windows application that acts as an emulation layer for the Git command line interface. Bourne Again Shell is the abbreviation for Bourne Again Shell. A shell is a terminal program that allows you to interact with your operating system by typing commands.

- What is ‘atom’?

Atom is a free and open-source text and source code editor for Linux, macOS and Windows that includes JavaScript plug-ins and inbuilt Git Control. Atom is a desktop program created with web technologies by GitHub. The majority of the extension packages are community-built and maintained and have free software licenses. Atom is built on Electron (previously known as Atom Shell), a framework that uses Chromium and Node.js to create cross-platform desktop applications. Atom is written in CoffeeScript and Less, however it has been converted to JavaScript for the most part.
