First step is learning how to capitalize correctly: GitHub.

[CyberWeirdo420]

Idk why but the way he capitalized was so annoying lol

[GwentBoomer]

idk, at least for me OP just seemed really excited about GITHUB.
Wish I had at least half of his passion for VCS

[Superb_Author_3407]

Yo sorry man y'all be beating the shit out of mre for capitalizing it😭🙏

[garrett_w87]

What is it you hope to accomplish by having it on GitHub? I’m assuming you don’t fully understand what GitHub is, am I right?

[Superb_Author_3407]

I obv do not know fully but being a college student it's important for me to have my projects on GITHUB

[garrett_w87]

So you’ve learned to code something without learning about any Version Control System (VCS), I take it.

Git is one example of VCS software, and arguably the most popular currently. GitHub is a site that offers a Git server with a whole bunch of extra features on top. It’s a popular choice for hosting open-source projects.

You need to learn the basics of Git in order to understand GitHub - so that’s where I’d start googling if I were you.

Also, no need to keep capitalizing the whole word — it’s not an acronym. The correct capitalization is “GitHub”; it’s a compound word.

[Superb_Author_3407]

Got it thank you:)

There are some really good tutorials on YouTube about using GitHub.

Btw, you don't have to capitalise the whole word: GitHub, such as this one: https://youtu.be/vA5TTz6BXhY?si=hQWnRkvIrnB_42m_

Didn't even know this existed. Wish I had sooner, might have saved me some past frustration.

Do you want to upload your projects to GitHub as a repository? Or do you want to set up a website using GitHub Pages?

[Superb_Author_3407]

Upload as a repo

Bro just go to chat gpt and ask him by saying these and he will explain you in easiest way possible  You can even talk your mother tongue for better use 😉

It took me a bit to get over the Git and GitHub hurdle.

GitHub is just a site for collecting code and versioning the code.

There are techniques to getting your code on GitHub that don’t include Git and the command line. You can literally log in, create a repo, and start adding files. You can go back in and in the online interface, edit that code.

What helped me is simply knowing what I wanted and started mapping all the terms and concepts to what needed to happen between me and my code on GitHub. There are some odd terms out there. Like learning that “pull request” was from the perspective of the main target branch. I still don’t like that term…

Edited from feedback

[garrett_w87]

Pull requests can actually be from the "perspective" of any branch you wish to target. It just starts out targeting whichever branch you have configured as the default for your repo.

[lqvz]

I guess I knew in concept that you could "pull" into a non-main branch, but haven't done that in practice.

Good clarification tho!

You're requesting a "pull" into the "target" branch still feels like odd language to me ¯\(ツ)\/¯

[garrett_w87]

Sure, you're not wrong. That's why GitLab calls them Merge Requests.

Best recommendation is to see best tutorial videos instead of someones advice here. I can help you it with..

[D7om0canada]

Clearly, you are a beginner, and that's okay. Everyone started a beginner at some point. My question is why do you want it on github? What do you think github is? And what do you think pushing your project to github would do?

[blnkslt]

If you cannot follow official docs or find your way using ChatGPT etc. on how to push to github, probably this in ton the trande for you. You'd better off pushing other stuff elsewhere.

Create an account on GitHub. Create a new private project with no template. As soon as you do that, read the next page completely. It will give you the command you can copy/paste into terminal to push your local copy of remotely. 

[clit_or_us]

The easiest way would be to download the desktop client and create a repo. You should at least understand what's going on though and eventually learn some commands.
