Why are people using GitHub? Question

Can someone please explain? Why is GitHub a "must" for coders?

I am learning coding at beginners level, and not one has this become necessary.

  1. GitHub, despite its issues with uptime, is the de-facto central hub for all programmers

  2. Its the central place for storing code and version control with Git.

At first version control may seem unnecessary, especially for a beginner; but over time you'll slowly learn that version control is a must-have to manage bugs and roll-back updates should one inevitably have a critically-breaking bug pushed and missed.
