Hello, first of all, wanted to make clear that I am a completely new programmer with little to basic experience in python. I wanted to create a file for my AoC 2024 (python) in GitHub, but since I'm new, Idk how to make a file/project in GH, could people here share info with me? Is it wise to create a project file for my AoC in gh? Thanks.

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

Sounds fine, assuming you want to show the code to others. If not, you don't need to use github (or similar services - there are several).

If you decide to publish your code on github:

  • you need a personal account - they're free
  • you need to make a repo for your project

Your local stuff:

  • either make a new git repo locally and add github as the upstream target
  • or clone your new repo to a local directory

End result is the same, it's just which end you want to start with.

A great tool is GitHub Desktop. It lets you monitor and work with your repos from your desktop and you don't need to learn Git (the language) to push your stuff

#

It is quite beginner friendly and I recommend giving it a try
