Everyone says: learn git, install git, then use GitHub. That's backwards — and it's why so many people never start.
Git is a program you install. GitHub is a website. This talk is about everything you can do on the website without ever opening a terminal — and you'll do it live, clicking along on your laptop as we go.
Then we'll flip on the second engine: AI workflows for version-controlling the files on your own computer and getting them up to the website — no memorizing commands, no cryptic errors. It's the piece that turns "I have a GitHub account" into "my projects, current and future, are set up for success."
❯ We'll climb the whole ladder together:
Read the code behind the tools you use, and download real software
File a bug that actually gets fixed — your first open-source contribution, zero code written
Star and curate projects (real influence: on GitHub, things get found by merit, not marketing budget)
Make your first repo and your first commit — in the browser, no commands
Point AI at the files on your computer to version them and push them up to GitHub — you stay the one who says yes
And the best power of all: undo it in one click when the AI wrecks your project
This is a talk, not a lecture you sit through but participation is optional. Every step has a link. Sign up, star, fork, and click along as we go — by the end you'll have an account, a repo, a pull request to your name, and a workflow that keeps working long after you leave.

❯ What To Bring:
Stick around after — we'll help you put your new GitHub chops to work: fix a real typo in a project, get an AI workflow running on your own files, or push your notes somewhere permanent.
