      I recommend giving the wikipedia page a quick looksie, especially the “Git Server” section.

      Git isn’t a service like you may be expecting, but git servers can be. GitHub, GitTea, GitLab, SourceForge, and Codeberg are all examples of such services, all of which can be used with the git tool.

      Yea, git is software that lets you manage repositories whereas github, codeberg, forgejo etc are websites that allow you to host those repositories. You don’t necessarily need any of those either, you can self host your own repositories if you wish, the only difference is how you can share and collaborate on repositories.
