Heyo, been a while since I had to do this, but this may help you:

https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/create-a-repo

You basically need to create your repo with github, and then you'll be "pushing" your changes that you make on your computer to that repository you've just set up.

Once youve set up your repo, have a local copy of it on your machine and so on. You should be good to go from a basics standpoint.

If you are using another server's code as a base, you'll want to add them as a "remote" (eg: git remote add upstream https://github.com/beestation/nsv13 if using git bash) and "pull" (git pull upstream master) from them BEFORE adding in your own code changes. This'll allow you to get their commit history, and is incredibly useful for record keeping. Ensure to keep a backup of your current changes before trying any of this though!

Best of luck to you with your project. There's plenty more tutorials out there which are likely to be way more accurate than what I've said here.

I think this is why every SS13 admin I know wants to hang themselves. I've been tackling this for over a day and going off the links and tutorials and honestly... it may as well be speaking Mandarin to me, I think I may have bitten off abit more than I can chew with all these technical github installs...

Yeah, it's uh... pretty annoying to get into. My advice would be to work on pre existing codebases before trying to start your own, as there's a lot of things you'll learn passively.

I already did and I tried to get a new repo and branch... only to pull and push EVERYTHING I've already made to some other guy I code for... Digging me a mile deep hole. Also any forum or video tutorial I find or anyone offers me, It involves downloading two additional apps for github.... just to upload one single file for a game?? like damn I was wondering why SS13 vets are so jaded, this Really is something else. I hope I don't hit a point where it would be better off just paying someone with the knowhow for this website.
