First Commit.

Hello everybody. My name is Mar, and today I want to guide you through the most important step of your Tech career, your first interaction with Github.

I started off as a Computer Science student not long ago, in 2016. However, it took me a whole year to give this Github thing a try. I was hesitant and confused at first, but it did not turn out to be as complex as my peers made it sounds when they were talking about it. All it takes is some motivation!

Repo is short for repository, and my personal explanation for it is that it is just a regular folder that will hold your project files. What is special about this folder is that it “watches” your files. And here is where the magic of version control comes, more on that to come later. To initialize a repo, Go to the repositories tab and click on the green button labeled “New”.
