Galatians was written by Paul himself and documents some of the events in Paul's ministry. In chapter 1, Paul claims that he received his gospel from no man, but by revelation from God, and that he immediately went to preach to the gentiles. In chapter 2, Paul claimed to have championed the right of gentile converts to remain uncircumcised and described Peter as the apostle to the circumcised - in fact not well disposed towards the gentiles. Paul seems unsure of the role of Peter and James in the Jerusalem church.
Acts of the Apostles was written some decades later by an anonymous author, although attributed in the second century to Paul's companion, Luke.In this document, Paul must be quite familiar with the roles of Peter and James, in the Jerusalem church.
Acts quite definitely attributes to Peter the decision to preach to the gentiles. Now, Acts 15 gives Peter the credit for accepting uncircumcised gentiles, with Paul not even expressing an opinion either way. It also portrays Paul as petulant and quarrelsome, in that he refused to take John Mark on a journey, causing a split between Paul on the one hand, and Barnabas and Mark on the other.
Arguably a feature of Acts of the Apostle is that it draws many comparisons between Paul and Peter, but always shows Peter in the better light. Acts downplays some of the claims made by Paul in his own epistles. It seems that the author of Actswished to ensure that credit for the expansion of Christianity among the gentile population should not go to Paul.
It may be that the differences result from a subtle attempt to rewrite the history of the early Christian Church.

Paul did not write a book or epistle on his first missionary journey. In fact, it appears to have been quite a few years before he first wrote an epistle. In one of his earliest epistles, the Epistle to the Galatians, Paul said that after his conversion, he travelled to Arabia, then Damascus (bypassing Jerusalem), Jerusalem, then Syria and Cilicia, and back to Jerusalem. He must have spent 3 years in Damascus, 14 years in Syria and Cilicia, and indeterminate periods in the other centres, before he even wrote this epistle.

Paul was correcting wrong thinking that had quickly developed in the congregations of Galatia(Galatians 1:6). Certain Jews were trying to teach that circumcision (and other facets of the Law) were still required among Christians and Paul was reprimanding congregation members for being influenced by their false teachings(Galatians 2:15-3:14; 4:9+10) These ' false brothers', called 'Judaizers', were sly and concerned with their own interests (Acts 15:1/Galatians 2:4). Pretending to represent the congregation in Jerusalem, they discredited Paul and wanted the Christians to get circumcised(Galatians 4:17), to try and stop Jewish persecution of Christians. Paul wrote to the Galatians to remind them that they were no longer under the Mosaic Law(Galatians 2:15-21)(Galatians 1:6-9/Galatians 5:1-12/Galatians 6:12-16), but that they were acceptable to God because of their FAITH in the good news about Jesus (Galatians 3:1-5)(Galatians 4:1-7), and that the 'true sons of Abraham' were those with FAITH like Abraham's (Galatians 3:6-9+26-29).
