"I'm new to GitHub and not sure where to start. What are the key things I should know to get started with GitHub?"

1️⃣ Creating a GitHub Account:
Sign up for a GitHub account at github.com. This will give you access to repositories, projects, and the ability to contribute to other projects.
2️⃣ Understanding Repositories:
A repository (or repo) is where your code and project files are stored. You can create a new repository to start your project or fork someone else's repository to work on their code.
3️⃣ Using Git:
Git is the version control system that GitHub is built on. It allows you to track changes, collaborate with others, and maintain a history of your project. Learn basic Git commands like git clone, git add, git commit, and git push.
4️⃣ Working with Branches:
Branches let you work on different features or versions of your project. The main branch is usually main or master. You can create new branches to work on separate tasks.
5️⃣ Making Pull Requests:
If you want to contribute to someone else's project, you can create a pull request. This asks the repository owner to review your changes and potentially merge them into the main branch.
6️⃣ Exploring GitHub Features:
GitHub has many features, such as Issues for tracking tasks and Discussions for community engagement. Take some time to explore and familiarize yourself with the interface.

I hope my comment is of some help.😊

We made the decision to disable the ability to earn Achievements in our Community in order to discourage users from participating in coordinated or inauthentic activity like rapid questions and answers in order to earn badges. You can learn more about this decision in our announcement post here Achievements will no longer be available in the Community.

Note that GitHub's Acceptable Use Policies prohibits coordinated or inauthentic activity like rapid questions and answers. As a result, we'll be unmarking the answer and locking this post. 

Any future violations may result in a temporary or indefinite block from the Community. Thanks for understanding.
