Short version: Git is the actual version control software that runs on your computer. GitHub is a website that hosts Git repositories online so you can collaborate with others.

Think of it like this: Git is the engine, GitHub is the car dealership where you can store and share your car.

If you're just starting out, you don't need to master Git before using GitHub. Make a repo on the website, upload a file, try making a commit - you'll pick it up as you go. The main commands you'll use daily are just: git add, git commit, git push, git pull.
