GitHub

Are we associated with Github or have any tutorials for the use of github? I'm having a hard time understanding the guides from the actual website. It's like you almost have to be proficient in code just to use it...

I really want to be able to share what I'm working on and have the ability to get help from other coders willing to contribute to my open source files, but can't figure out how to upload my existing code and have the output cone out the way I want. It only shows as code.

Also, can GitHub be used as a web host platform? Or do i need to go through someone else?

No, CF is not affiliated with GitHub in any way. It does have a GitHub organization page, though.

You don't need knowledge of programming to use GitHub, but rather the terminal and the Git version-control-system(VCS).

GitHub does have a web-hosting platform, which grants you only one free domain:
username.github.io.

but can't figure out how to upload my existing code and have the output cone out the way I want. It only shows as code.

What is it that you don't understand exactly and how do you want your output to be like?

(I'll edit this post with useful links when I get the chance or maybe somebody will get to it before me).

What I mean is when i save/upload a file, instead of displaying like it would on a web page, its displayed like in a text editor. Shows all the html tags.

I think someone with extensive github experience should make a thread that's dumbed down to beginner level lol

That's because GitHub is for working with Git repositories and not websites. It's a platform for hosting and working on source-code, so it will display files as plain-text.

As I said, GitHub does have a website-hosting service which gives you a free domain to host static websites(that is, HTML, CSS, and JS. PHP, SQL, Python, Ruby, Java, and any other backend are not supported). Follow this page for info on how to set it up: https://pages.github.com/

It's relatively easy to follow. Should you have any issues, come back here.
