Centralized Version Control Systems, referred to as CVCS
Centralized version control system
Such systems such as CVS subversion and perforce.
This type of system has a centrally managed server that keeps a modified version of all files, and co-workers connect to the server via the client, remove the latest files, or commit changes.

Distributed Version Control System, abbreviation DVCS
Distributed version control system
Such systems as Git,mercurial,bazaar and Darcs
Instead of extracting the latest version of the file, the client mirrors the entire code repository. So, any server that works together has failed, and can be recovered by any of the mirrored local repositories afterwards. Because each fetch operation is a full backup of the Code warehouse.

GitHub is an Internet-based access service for projects that use the GIT version control system. It was written by GitHub (formerly known as logical Awesome) developer Chris Wanstrath, PJ Hyett, and Tom Preston-werner using Ruby on Rails.

Next open the terminal (do not know where the terminal, directly in the Spotlight search terminal):

$CD ~/.ssh//Check if SSH is already present
