Great overview of GitHub Renata! I don't really have any questions that come to mind, I've been using GitHub for a while, so I guess I'll just affirm that GitHub is a really nice tool to use for version control and file management for both group and individual projects.

I like to also pair it with GitHub Desktop, which really just adds another level of push-pull checking and a cloned folder of your repo(s) on your computer for easy local use. I found it most useful when I kept working between two separate folders and having to move files that weren't just scripts around, but it's also very nice to just drag and drop a file into the folder, open GitHub Desktop, and hit "commit" and "push" and have that be done. I suppose one question could be, is that an okay/good practice workflow?
