Introduction.

I have folder with files sitting quietly on my laptop, and the idea of turning it into a "real project" on github feels like a mountain. This week, i climbed that mountain and i want to walk you through exactly how i did.

Git vs GitHub.

Git is a tool that lives on my computer and its the thing that actually tracks the changes i make to my files

GitHub is a website. Its where i can store a copy of that diary online so i can share it with other people, back it up or work on it from a different computer. Git does the tracking and GitHub does the hosting.
