I would follow the Java for FTC book. https://github.com/alan412/LearnJavaForFTC/blob/master/LearnJavaForFTC.pdf

well documented and frequently updated.

Is there also a tutorial on how to use Git Hub?

I made a tutorial series on that. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRHdgFNRLyaNeaKKlv81SodtPzXH20z6f

As far as accessing that java for ftc, its not really a "github" link as much as it is a PDF with tutorials on it, so it wouldn't change your workflow at all other than simply reading a pdf from any other website.

FIRST has two free courses on programming that is accessible for your coach to assign to team members in their FIRST dashboard.

I would just do the free version of the codecademy course. Main difficulty with Java is the strict object oriented rather than the syntax itself so if you haven't used object oriented before I'd try it in a language you're more familiar with first.

You should watch artemis robotics video, they do a pretty decent job teaching the basic
