GitHub functions as a medium for storing the scripts that we use. The script can be uploaded and also downloaded to the GitHub site. These tools or files are available both offline and online.
When we want to run a tool or a file that we download, sometimes it is hidden/can't be seen. So we can't delete the file/tool directly. If downloaded from Github we can modify, delete and share it with others.
