Haven't used Github in years, I'm a full stack developer turned sys admin haven't had to use it. Getting into Security now and I want to code again and Github has changed alot. I chose your video because it was the shortest. But it was very good, don't need to watch any others now, so that gave me the time to write this thank you statement, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE . You have a new subscriber, hoping all your tutorials are thing well structured.

[@janetsawari1677]

it really has changed a lot! But for the better!

[@dadabellmon8672]

@@janetsawari1677 agree, back in my day it was subversion that everyone used. But I hated subversion, seemed too complex for no reason. Git and Github, any beginner can pick it up

[@cyphadoc]

Exactly what made me chose to watch it, all others are like ages long

[@abdifatah86]

Same ..liked the short video

[@utharanair]

Thanks a million, Anson, I am nontechnical staff and brand new to Git, your this video helped me bypass the complex bash cmds and use the Git Desktop which i had only downloaded but didn't know to use. Super informative, yet so simple! Love little surprises in life.

[@JP-zp6ob]

thank you so much dude. There is so many poor tutorials out there for github, this was a breath of fresh air

[@jimmybdietaryandvital-sigh8450]

AWESOME tutorial. I was in a fog regarding Github. I was wondering how I could benefit from it. Now after following your clear instructions I feel more confident and understand how it will help me collaborate with my grandson who is commencing programming courses at college this fall.

[@Asiyechiziuka]

Easiest and most straightforward explanation to GitHub I have seen yet. Like, a few mins and I'm all good. Others are an hour long with lotsa nonsense

[@extrememike]

This was exactly what I was looking for to transfer local files to Github. Thanks!

[@kintarios]

Dude you deserve an award. The toturial was awesome.

[@BlastinRope]

Extremely helpful - succinct, clear examples, concise. Thank you so much. I'm following The Odin Project in setting up GitHub using the Terminal, and it feels like it's going over my head. You helped simplify things.

I haven't done programming in many many years. I've been a mathematician for quite a while now and have gotten kind of bored so now I'm going and relearning programming and figured GitHub would be a good thing to know about. Your video is very informative, I greatly appreciate it.

[@bekiteshome4670]

what do mathematicians do exactly if I may ask

[@AnsonAlexander]

You're very welcome and good luck diving into programming!

[@ArifBillahOnGoogle]

The people making such videos should know that they should keep making such videos because all such softwares and platforms change a lot over a period of time and the related youtube-tutorials become redundant over time.
