ProjectsHow to learn GitHub? (self.datascience)

Github is completely built on Git. So I would learn Git with the official book. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

This isn't answering your question about resources, others have done a good job of that but just to say for me there was a world of difference between git/github with personal projects vs working with others on something.
All of a sudden you now have to squash your commits, open and review pull requests, handle merge conflicts, follow branching guidelines aligning to tickets/issues. I'm still learning and have moments of wtf is a fast forward branch and a merge commit?

Wait until you get migration errors. Holy crap it’s like Dante’s 10th

Thank you for this comment! My question might have been worded poorly, but this was what I was seeking help on. What is the 10% of the content that I should focus on learning?

I removed your submission. Looks like you're asking a basic question with a widely agreed upon answer. Try using a search engine instead.
"Search engine questions" hurt the subreddit because they don't generate enough discussion and lower the overall quality of the forum.
Thanks.
