In this video you mentioned not to create your git folder in a cloud synced folder but didn't say why, I'm really curious why because this is something I was planning to do with my Nas.
You are by far the most articulate and easy-to-follow educator in this field for me. There are no gaps between your explanations, which is really hard to do if you want to include learners of all levels. You've nailed it for me.
Man I don’t know how to thank you- you are the first one that I found to be able to talk and explain everything clearly… finally I understood something about GitHub! You explained all so well… thank you so so so so so so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is actually so much better than the github tutorial on their website which is just words on a page with no pictures on how to do it. This was extremely helpful, thank you
i just started my journey in tech and i must confess your github tutorial is spot on . I have not been able to push my code to a repo for days now but after seeing this tutorial i did it with ease .. I hope to see more tutorials from you . Thanks
Glad it was helpful! With the internet, getting started is both harder and easier than ever. Information overload is a thing! If you like my teaching style, check out the C# tutorials on this channel, and if you really want to go deep, check out the courses on SkillFoundry.io.
I've put off working with GitHub for as long as I care to remember. Now, I have to. Your video has helped tremendously. Now I'm wondering what all the fuss was about, thanks to your well explained tutorial. Thanks so much and Peace.
I want to say thank you, even though I somewhat understood version control and its importance not a single other person went through the process of explaining how to actually use github repos and best practices. Much love
Man, what an amazing video. That's what I was looking for. In other videos the creators just assume that everybody already know how to use the terminal and stuff so they don't have the ability to explain in an easy way for beginners to understand. Thank you, man.
I started programming in middle school and took my last formal programming course in high school all before git existed. As a solo developer, I just versioned my software by manually copying and renaming the folder. I never went down the path of being a professional programmer though I continued coding for solo projects. I first got introduced to git in 2019 and for the life of me couldn't understand it. It was probably a combination of I didn't have a serious need for git and I've gotten dumber, but it's taken until your video for me to understand how to incorporate it into my workflow and boy is it nice as a solo developer. I really enjoy how you simplified it for solo developers and also did a visual walkthrough of Github Desktop. I'm sure as I get more advanced I may switch to the git functionality in VSCode, but your video was a great starting point. All this to say, absolutely amazing video and if you keep up these kind of simplified videos, you'll achieve great success with dumb old guys like me
This has been the most helpful video I’ve seen on GitHub. As someone who hasn’t used any sort of programming language since MSDOS or Basic, it’s really frustrating to see videos where everyone assumes you know what they’re talking about.
Thanks! It always bugs me that many tutorials just dump people into the terminal/CLI and don't really take the time to explain the higher level part. If you get your feet wet with the GUI and high level understanding, learning the CLI later is easier.
I just wanna say Thank you so much ,I tried the Houdini project and I was so confused I didn't understand anything but this video helped so much for someone who is new to all of this, you got a new sub
As a newbie to Git and Github I was massively confused by the whole show, but this is a really clear and helpful demo that's easy to follow along with. Thanks for sharing, I've learnt a lot from this.
Thank you so much! I just had a tiny (massive) menty b (full on meltdown) before watching this and was yapping on about how I dont understand a word and just want to START. I just felt not welcome as a newby and that's been following me around through all programming apps and pages, so your first sentences really hit the spot
Amazing video, thank you! I wanted to know what GitHub was about and whether I needed it while I'm learning to code, and your intro was exactly what I needed.
You explained is this in a simple way. Versioning was a simple concept and we had tools like svn, tfs etc. But they had to make it and the terminology confusing and more complex just to show this is an improvement or something brand new.
The amount of information that is covered, the pace at which you cover, and especially the format and your exact choices in how you walked through all of these concepts and scenarios, is absolutely wonderful man. I am wildly grateful because this was my first search for a GitHub getting started or something, and I am so stoked I chose this first. Thank you Eric Weise(?) Skill Foundry.
@@SkillFoundryIO I've got to say this was the best overview I've ever had on the basics of GitHub... So you're doing a great job, thank you for the video and time to reply!
Thank you! I've done a lot of coding projects on my own before, but I've always been uncertain about how to proceed with trying to use version control. I want to make a portfolio to show off my projects, but I've been hampered by hesitation in making that first step.
Thanks for the video, nice and straightforward. Question, what options do you have for Desktop Apps for the various OSs. I use Mac, iPad, Windows and Android. When looking for apps on the various platforms some are free and others charge. I'm not looking to do anything complex, just a single storage location for my code files that will only be used by me (although would like to give others access so they can see my files and clone if desired). Appreciate any suggestions on what would be the simplest apps to use. Thanks.
I think that GitHub desktop is good enough for most people. I’ve also used tortoise and kraken in the past. Kraken is really nice but probably overkill for your situation. I don’t use Git tools on my mobile devices since I code on my laptop and desktop only so I can’t comment on those. Luckily most tools are free or cheap and many have trials, so try them out!
I like clicking things too, after all that's why there is a GUI in the first place. Even if it takes a few seconds more, it really doesn't lower your productivity in a meaningful way.
Thanks for this tutorial! Though I would have slightly appreciated if you also shown where the buttons are for things, and where and how to make those things, but overall keep it up!

Really appreciate your efforts to break down each term and explain its role and functionality clearly. Thank you so much for the tutorial.❤️🌌🙏

Thank you so much 😃
I subscribed and clicked liked from admitting not liking the command line. Great video btw
It has its place, but for Git I find the output cluttered.
Clear and concise educator!
I really like how you mentioned the snobbiness of some developers, whatever works right?
Yep, I’ve never been one to get into flame wars over trivial things.

You could zoom in a little on the screen shots and demos. It isn’t possible to read some of the menus, etc., and these layouts could change over time.

I like clicking things too, after all that's why there is a GUI in the first place.
Even if it takes a few seconds more, it really doesn't lower your productivity in a meaningful way.
Especially in something like Git. I'm getting older and spraying text into a console window is getting harder to read!
Somehow I feel relaxed after watching this :)
Haha they call me the quiet storm.
This is really, really good! Thanks!
You are very welcome!
What editor do you use? I saw that when you clicked on the readme, it brought you to the editor.
I have a few.
Typora for markdown
Notepad++ for text
VS Code for scripting
Visual Studio for c#
Excellent tutorial.
Thank you!
This is an excellent video. Well done.
