Hi and welcome! 🎉
GitHub can feel overwhelming at first, but you're definitely in the right place to learn. Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Official GitHub Docs
   The GitHub Docs are super helpful for learning everything from the basics (repositories, branches, commits) to more advanced topics (pull requests, actions, and more).

2. GitHub Learning Lab
   GitHub Learning Lab offers interactive tutorials that walk you through real projects step by step. Highly recommended for beginners!

3. Explore Existing Projects
   Check out popular repositories and read their README files to see how others structure their projects. Try forking a repo and making small changes to practice.

4. Ask Questions in Discussions
   Don’t hesitate to ask specific questions here or in other Discussions! The GitHub community is usually very supportive.

5. Practice, Practice, Practice
   The best way to learn is by doing. Create your own test repository and play around with creating files, making commits, and opening pull requests.

If you have any specific questions or get stuck on something, feel free to ask here. People are happy to help, and no question is too basic.

Good luck, and enjoy your GitHub journey! 🚀

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @quick404!

We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting your question in the applicable category, the Discussions category is solely related to conversations around the GitHub product Discussions. This question should be in the New To GiHub category. I've gone ahead and moved it for you. Good luck!
