What is the point of hashHistory?

What is the point of hashHistory? Why don't you show browserHistory instead? This step is unnecessary.

Your app won't work properly with browserHistory if you host it on Github pages, for example. That's cause to use browserHistory you need to have server-side configuration, as stated in Lesson 2. hashHistory comes in handy when you want to have only frontend code in your app.
