How to fetch data asynchronously in JavaScript

Maybe one of the toughest things to figure out when I was getting started with JavaScript was how to asynchronously fetch data from a remote source. It always felt unreliable, confusing, and inconsistent. But what was actually happening was that my understanding of it was inconsistent. This video is going to get you up and running better than I did when I was first guessing in the dark around data fetching.
However, this is one of the few concepts, I encourage you to dive deeper on when you have a chance. ​Start here, in this free guide at JavaScript.info​ (javascript.inf..., it helped me a lot when I finally made the effort to understand data fetching better.

I was really confused for a minute because you didn't "await" the call to getGithubUserData(). (Normally if you are calling an async function, you would "await" it) But then I noticed that the reason you didn't have to await it is that the console.log is inside the function and that is what is logging the result. If getGithubUserData returned the userData, then anything calling it would have to await it. Is that right?
