Beginner’s guide to GitHub: Adding code to your repository

The guide for beginners on GitHub offers a comprehensive overview of using GitHub flow to efficiently manage and collaborate on projects by detailing steps such as cloning repositories, creating branches, committing changes, and opening pull requests. It emphasizes the importance of working on a separate branch to protect the main branch, both through terminal commands and GitHub Desktop, and provides detailed instructions for adding code, committing changes, and pushing updates to a remote repository. The guide also covers the process of merging branches, handling pull requests, and safely updating the main branch with changes from other branches. Additionally, it provides insights into deleting branches once changes are incorporated, encouraging collaboration and project management on GitHub.
