I signed up for a college class thinking I’d be writing storylines for video games, but it is NOT that. So, I’m doing GitHub stuff and I am so confused.
I did a computer science fundamentals class last semester thinking it would be fun; it wasn’t. Technology is like magic mumbo jumbo and I cannot get a handle on it. Anyway, there are no other classes for summer I’m interested in, and I want to keep the credit hours I’ve signed up for.
What is a repository?
Commit?
Staging?
How does any of this work with coding? Or creating something?
And yes, I’ve watched the tutorials but I just don’t what these basics mean, and the videos just act like I should.

Think of it as saving a project at different points in its lifetime. A canvas turning into a painting, and every “commit” is a time you save the painting so you could go back to that point and do something different to the painting.
If you do change something, you can save it as a new “branch” and switch between branches and continue editing before switching back
