This is the best GitHub intro video so simplified

[Dadbod-]

THIS is what I have been looking for. Simplified for an overwhelmed beginner. Thank you!

[davestr]

I've put off working with GitHub for as long as I care to remember. Now, I have to. Your video has helped tremendously. Now I'm wondering what all the fuss was about, thanks to your well explained tutorial. Thanks so much and Peace.

[dreaminanut]

You are by far the most articulate and easy-to-follow educator in this field for me. There are no gaps between your explanations, which is really hard to do if you want to include learners of all levels. You've nailed it for me.

[funteav]

I have been searching forever to find "THIS" TUT video that clearly explains VCS. BEST VS VIDEO EVER! Thank you, you are a LIFESAVER!

[psychologymatters]

This is the best introduction video I have seen. With the explanation and the actual demo. Thanks sir!

[sayuri_lyssa_channie]

Man I don’t know how to thank you- you are the first one that I found to be able to talk and explain everything clearly… finally I understood something about GitHub! You explained all so well… thank you so so so so so so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[girth]

Clear, Beginner Friendly, and right to the point. Thank you

[superwoman]

Thank you so very much for this thorough, clear, and concise video. I am a very slow learner and I watched your video one time and I was able to follow the steps to the T based off your directions and demo! I had to subscribe solely based on this video alone and because your demo was so detailed and you are a phenomenal teacher. I will be sharing your channel with many others in my "newbie tech circle" and on my LinkedIn profile. Please keep pushing out these videos!! Also, if you have knowledge and expertise in QA Software Testing... there is a definite need on YouTube for someone with your voice and teaching style. Please consider creating videos for novice software testers like myself!! Happy YouTubing!!!

This has been the most helpful video I’ve seen on GitHub. As someone who hasn’t used any sort of programming language since MSDOS or Basic, it’s really frustrating to see videos where everyone assumes you know what they’re talking about.

[ballerbiola]

i just started my journey in tech and i must confess your github tutorial is spot on . I have not been able to push my code to a repo for days now but after seeing this tutorial i did it with ease .. I hope to see more tutorials from you . Thanks

[kevinosterling]

Woow man, very good video, , I just lost 1 month only by being intimidated by other Github tutorials but it worked with this one... Thanks.

[faizanbhutto]

LOVE THIS TUTORIAL!! Thank you so much! Please don't stop making tutorials like this 😭

[richardwaldron]

As a newbie to Git and Github I was massively confused by the whole show, but this is a really clear and helpful demo that's easy to follow along with. Thanks for sharing, I've learnt a lot from this.

[shafialanower]

Never thought I would see a video on this topic. Recently started learning c# and there is so much a developer needs to know. Much appreciated!!

[justanothermartian]

Best Github Tutorial for beginners on Youtube!

[markburton]

You could zoom in a little on the screen shots and demos. It isn’t possible to read some of the menus, etc., and these layouts could change over time.

[RaviRJoshi]

Very educational & lucid. I am an experienced developer who never used git, so it was very useful.

[amishsunshine]

Incredibly helpful. Definitely the best beginner tutorial I have found so far, thank you!
