Difference between Git and GitHub

I have recently added a new project to Git using Eclipse, but do not see the project appear in my GitHub account.

Why do they have the same account information and different repositories?

Isn't Git and GitHub the same thing?

git github

In the SVN analogy, Git replaces SVN, while GitHub replaces SourceForge :P

If this project of yours is new, then you can still commit to your local Git, then you can push to GitHub later on. You will need to add your GitHub repo as a 'remote repository' in your Git setup.

They seem to have something for Eclipse users : http://eclipse.github.com/

Otherwise, if you are new to Git : http://git-scm.com/book
