Difference between GIT and GITHub in android studio new project checkout?

What is difference between the below two options while checking out new project

1, File - > new -> Project from Version control -> GitHub

2, File - > new -> Project from Version control -> Git

My understanding is, Using first option we can checkout a repository from GitHub. Then what is the use of second option?

Git is a revision control system, a tool to manage your source code history.

GitHub is a hosting service for Git repositories.

So they are not the same thing: Git is the tool, GitHub is the service for projects that use Git. Git vs Github
