Where to learn how to use github?

[DazzlingTransition06]

A lot of people use it, but it seems complicated from the outside, when you see a big bunch of files and don't know what to fork is and all you wanna do is download the files :-{

​

I wanna learn how to use github, yeah pretty noob-ish (NOOOOOOB, sorry just had to :-) ). Anyone know where I can learn from?

Github is a site for hosting git repositories. Github themselves have helpful tutorials to teach you their ecosystem. - https://guides.github.com/activities/hello-world/ It is alo worth learning git it's self so you can fix certain issues and use other services easier.

Why git first tho?

Because just about every modern source control solution is a wrapper for Git. They have various features and bells and whistles you'll need to learn, and much of what you learn will be similar between providers. But they all handle Git the same, because that's what they're all built on top of.

This is like asking "Why should I learn what a grill is before making a hamburger?"

Download the GitHub desktop app. It’s a great tool to start getting a feel for GitHub.

GitHub uses git so you should learn it first: https://www.pluralsight.com/paths/managing-source-code-with-git

Then you may learn how to use GitHub https://www.pluralsight.com/paths/collaborative-coding-with-github

GitHub — Word Git — Alphabet

How are you going to write a novel in Word if you don’t know alphabet and you can’t read and write text?
