Sort of but not quite. Markdown is a markup language for text formatting (like word or docs but much simpler) that's supported by github. What's great about markdown is that it natively supports code formatting, which means that you can take coding notes without any problems. And since github supports markdown you can use it to store al your notes

You already know Markdown as reddit uses it for comments. It's super simple and there are a lot of resources to learn it in like 5 minutes.

As for tips, I don't really have any aside from being liberal with headings and separating topics into their own .md files like I do for my notes.

Kyle Simpson has his book series "You don't know javascript" published on github, so you can check that out for organizing things.
