Hi Shaun - I have just completed this "Git & GitHub" tutorial, I found it easy to follow and presented in short bitesize chunks, like you I had been storing my versions on my PC. Whilst this tutorial may 4 years old, it is still very relevant and I'd recommend it anyone, thank you for sharing your skills, keep up the good work.
