@Joe_Temp, if you run linux, I can’t imagine that git (command line) would fluster you. Get a cheat sheet and jump in.
Create a repo for your project on github.
Then, open a terminal on your computer:
# make a directory for your project. go there.
# (or, if you already have a project dir, just go there)
$ mkdir ~/my_project
$ cd ~/my_project
# create a repo.
$ git init
# create some files for your project. add them.
# (or, if the files already exist, just add them)
$ git add {filename}
# if you have a lot of existing files,
# you can add them all at once like
$ git add ./
# “commit” is like making a “save point” for your repo.
# -a means “all”
# normally, you’ll want to commit changes individually
# (so you can selectively keep/rollback if you need to)
# -m means “message”. every commit needs a message.
$ git commit -a -m ‘first commit’
# set up git to work with your repo on github
# {remote_name} is any “name” you like
# {your_username} is your github username
# {remote_name} is your github repo name
# (this is basically the same URL you use to view the repo,
# but with .git on the end.)
$ git remote add {remote_name} {https://github.com/{your_username}/{repo_name}.git}
# push your local work to your repo on github
$ git push master
