How to Use GitHub

GitHub is the most popular platform for developers across the world to share and collaborate on programming projects together. In this video, i'll explain how the git protocol works using the analogy of a car company (Tesla), how github works, and then show you from command line how you can push your first repository to github on your own computer.

How to use GitHub in two easy steps:
Step 1: *CTRL-C*
Step 2: *CTRL-V*

Ok no, I’m going mad here. 0:42, that coder is either never going to code, and always fill his coffee, or never get any coffee and always code. What kind of hell has that if statement locked that poor coder into?

[chrism]

I like how you're speaking more slowly and explaining more about why something is useful rather than just jumping right into code. It makes it much easier to listen to you.

Siraj, I think at 3:00 the animation should've started from the top live version than the first shown Staging area. I was initially confused in my first so it might be lil confusing for other noobs like me.
I was trying to understand Github for a while, and today you uploaded what I very much wanted- perfect explanation. thanks a lot.

Yo lol this man throws sooo much shade. 🤣😂

[JoaoRaiden]

Siraj, as a computer science undergrad freshman student from brazil, I fucking love you. As if the AI videos weren't enough, you managed to make a video exactly about what I planned on learning next week.

3:09 you mixed the live version description with the local version animation and vice versa 3:26

Poor programmer .. that code in 0:40 doesn't make sense :(
Why fill coffee ☕ if it's not empty? Why keep programming and not fill the ☕ if it is empty? :(

3 videos in basically a day... Best 24 hours ever!!!

[NPCbase]

@Siraj Hey remember, you should fork peoples repository instead of just stealing their code

[diamondguy]

Thanks so much! I just started using GitHub for ML projects about a week ago, and it's made my life a lot easier. It really helps to have a simple, compact explanation like this available.

[HostelKitchen]

Hey, you are making videos like a mad man 😀

[jetraid]

2:54 flamethrower in Tesla Cars? Looks a good idea. :)

[kryob]

Noooo Siraj, the cool Handmovement in the intro is covered by the fireeee 😀

[Gottii]

i personally know github, but i think its really great that you make this video, especially since all of your tasks need to be linked with github, you are so nice =)

[apoorvsharma]

Thanks a ton Siraj for this video...There are still lots of people who do not know how to use this wonderful software/service .

[kenhaley]

Great intro, but only one complaint. The animated graphics often felt like they were out of sync with the narration. Confusing at first, but eventually made sense.

On the plus side, the chart at 4:40 is especially informative. Not having used GIT very much, I was a little confused by the difference between commit and push, for example. The chart quickly clarifies this and other concepts.

Nice job.

That analogy was brilliant!

Thank you for giving a quick overview of git and github

Hey buddy you are doing a great job. I really love it. I'm following your time table of learning basics of computer science in 5 months. It is amazing. Thank you for your guidance and keep up your great work. You are awesome!
