GitHub is not scary — 5-minute intro

GitHub is not scary — 5-minute intro I avoided GitHub for years. Every time someone mentioned it, my brain shut down. Repositories. Branches. Pull requests. It sounded like a foreign language designed to make me feel stupid. Then I actually used it. And it’s not that complicated. What GitHub actually is Forget the jargon. Here’s what GitHub really is: It’s Google Drive for your projects. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. ...
