Let’s be honest: GitHub looks terrifying. It looks like the Matrix, and if you touch the wrong button, you feel like you’re going to delete the internet. But here is the secret developers don't want you to know: It’s just a fancy "Save" button. At The Know-How Academy, we believe you shouldn't need a Computer Science degree just to back up your website. We are going to translate this dry technical manual into something you can actually read without falling asleep.

GitHub is the cloud storage (Google Drive), and Git is the delivery truck that drives your files from your laptop to the cloud.

"Repository" is a scary word for "Folder." That’s it. It’s a bucket where your project lives.

Now you need to get that folder onto your computer. This is called Cloning.

You are going to type these commands a lot. Think of them as the "Quick Save" button in a video game before you fight a boss.

This is the coolest part of GitHub. Branches let you create a parallel universe of your project.

If you are working with a team (or an IDK Solutions partner), you don't just merge things willy-nilly. You create a Pull Request (PR).

Look, we get it. You run a business, you don't want to run a command line. If this still sounds like a headache you don't need, IDK Solutions acts as your "Fractional CTO." We handle the pushes, pulls, and merges so you can handle the sales.
