GitHub without fear

The one idea

GitHub stores your project files and their history. Think of it as:

• Save points — undo bad changes
• Shared truth — everyone (and every AI agent) works from the same files
• Backup — code survives a broken laptop

You do not need to master Git commands on day one. You do need to know: projects live in a repository, changes get committed with a short message, and AI tools should work inside a repo — not loose files on your desktop.

Three habits

1. One repo per app
2. Commit after each working feature card
3. Never paste secrets into the repo

Your win today

You can explain why your first app needs a GitHub repo before the second feature card.
