🧠 Getting Git: A Friendly Intro to Git, GitHub, and GitHub Pages

Version control felt like wizardry when I first started coding. Cryptic commands, weird workflows, and a whole lot of mystery.

But once I got it, I realized: Git is one of the most powerful tools in your developer toolbox.

In this blog post, I guide you through setting up Git and GitHub step-by-step, with real terminal commands and tips for beginners:

💻 In this post you'll learn:

What version control actually means

How to initialize a local Git repo from your terminal

How to connect it to GitHub

How to publish your own website for free using GitHub Pages

No fluff, just a beginner-friendly walkthrough written by someone who recently went through it too.

If you're building your first portfolio, starting dev school, or just need a refresher, this one's for you.

Let me know what helped (or confused you), I’d love to improve it for future devs just starting out!
