Before I ask, please know that I am new to programming, I am not the smartest person in the world but I am trying my best. I've been reading about GitHub but I can't exactly understand what it's for. Is it a code sharing website that you can store your own code on? Like, people can see it and critique it?
Thank you guys for the help!
I could be, but to understand GitHub, maybe you should start off with learning about "git" itself. GitHub is a (cloud) service based on git. Basically, git is a tool for version control. You can work with different branches, merge branches etc. You can do this working individually, but you can collaborate with other people working on the same code. And eventually merge all the good work to one master branch.
With services as GitHub you can also share code. You can clone code from GitHub to you local machine and do whatever you want with it.
