-When people want to show off code to each other they can put it on GitHub
+- Save work - prevents you from losing your old work, and allows you to revert to older versions of your project (like Google Docs, or Word). Without it, it would be really difficult to save your work and manage different versions of your project.
+- Branches - allows you to work on experimental features without affecting the bulk of your application. Without branches, you're prone to breaking your application, everytime you want to make a change.
+- Showcase work - GitHub allows you to share your work with others, without a version control system, it is hard for others to see each change you've made in your project.
