Greetings my colleagues. I have never used GitHub since the first day I opened it in FCC. I have read it is a good tool for developers. I have some question concerning it.  
I. When we submit completed projects on FCC, are they automatically pushed to GitHub or you push them yourselves.  
2. How do you push the files to GitHub.  
Any advice and other resources for my understanding are highly encouraged. Thank you

To use GitHub you must 1st save your project there.  
FCC only check the site it doesn’t copy it.

Hello @emilynyaruri,

- What type of text editor do you use, because some code editor have git built in where you can Commit, Push, and Pull easily from your code editor.
- Before you do anything else, you have to install Git on your PC first. This is so that you are able to commit, push and pull.
- You can follow more in this video provided.
