Its been a while since i used GitHub. This was nice and simple thanks for making this video. Awsome info nice and fast.
The amount of information that is covered, the pace at which you cover, and especially the format and your exact choices in how you walked through all of these concepts and scenarios, is absolutely wonderful man. I am wildly grateful because this was my first search for a GitHub getting started or something, and I am so stoked I chose this first. Thank you Eric Weise(?) Skill Foundry.
Man I don’t know how to thank you- you are the first one that I found to be able to talk and explain everything clearly… finally I understood something about GitHub! You explained all so well… thank you so so so so so so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I had to subscribe solely based on this video alone and because your demo was so detailed and you are a phenomenal teacher. I will be sharing your channel with many others in my "newbie tech circle" and on my LinkedIn profile. Please keep pushing out these videos!! Also, if you have knowledge and expertise in QA Software Testing... there is a definite need on KZread for someone with your voice and teaching style. Please consider creating videos for novice software testers like myself!! Happy YouTubing!!!

Thanks for this tutorial! Though I would have slightly appreciated if you also shown where the buttons are for things, and where and how to make those things, but overall keep it up!
I like clicking things too, after all that's why there is a GUI in the first place. Even if it takes a few seconds more, it really doesn't lower your productivity in a meaningful way.

Thanks again Eric, I've got an issue I hope you could assist with. I've created a repository and uploaded my Terraform file which I've created using vs code, initially everything worked fine. I made my changes, saved to GitHub Desktop BUT once i click on PULL ORIGIN it says that the .terraform.lock file is too large. How can i delete this file without affecting the terraform config file?

Git doesn’t let you push files > 100 mb but you’re saying pull… is the actual message that the file name is too long… not the file size?

I’ll likely do a future video on branches. For now just select it in GitHub desktop from the current branch dropdown. Then you can fetch and pull from it. docs.github.com/en/desktop/working-with-your-remote-repository-on-github-or-github-enterprise/syncing-your-branch-in-github-desktop

Use git pull command
I didn't hear you mention fork. Fork copies someone else's repository into your repository. Once you make your improvements, you can offer your changes to the original author by creating a pull request. If your pull request is improved, your changes will be added to the original repository.
