Hi - thanks for the feedback. There's definitely a learning curve with Git and GitHub, but there's a GUI that I think you'll find helpful: https://desktop.github.com/. Happy to walk you through it if you like - feel free to email me: lee@github.com.
Cheers,
Lee
The reason that you have to do all of that stuff is that it lets you have a bunch of people working on the same stuff, and it handles everything for you. I mean like, you can have dozens of people, hundreds even, working on the same project and same files, and it all works. As long as you follow its guidelines.
There is a bit of a learning curve. But it's not a filesharing service, that might be your confusion.
