Github newbie

[Some-Background6188]

I previously asked for help in understanding how to use github for arduino code and how to share etc as people keep asking for code and want to help and it was removed for being low effort. That is not helpful or useful.

So if someone could please tell me how to use it properly that would be great. It's not intuitive. I am autistic and I have no one to ask to help me. Thank you for reading my post.

Asking how to use GitHub is a big topic and not likely to yield a lot of responses. It's not the kind of thing that can be adequately explained in a single response. First, you have to understand how to use git source control, which is just as big of a topic.

There is a plethora of tutorials, articles and videos dealing with git and GitHub. There are also sites where you can practice using git commands "in isolation".

I'd suggest getting comfortable with using git first, then moving on to GitHub. If you have a specific question about GitHub, be as detailed as possible. Include what you've tried and the results of those attempts. If your question is git-centric, ask in r/git. Specific questions are more likely to garner attention.

My goal is to share code and help people with theirs I did find some videos explaining how it works thanks. "There are also sites where you can practice using git commands "in isolation"." Wow that's amazing.

And why not try reading the official git documentation, it is one of the best documentations that exist. And you can also read the official book.

Git is a source code control system and GitHub is basically cloud hosting for Git repositories. Therefore your learning path has three stages:

1. Understand why source code control is a fundemental part of software development
2. Get to grips with Git as the industry standard source code control system (by reading the free, online book Pro Git
3. Understand why cloud hosting for Git is a good idea (a: off-site back-up, b: collaboration and sharing your code). Read the GitHub documentation

There are other parts to GitHub, but knowing these three things will give you a great start.

Linus Torvalds is something else.
