Hi @lc39657-af -- for the one-hour "intro" class, we really focus on getting introduced to git & GitHub, there's a lot more we can talk about in the longer classes.

Anyway, to answer your question: in GitHub's web view, when creating a new file, you can create folders as you give the new file a name. If you named your file docs/go/here/document.txt you'd find a top-level folder docs and inside that another folder go and inside that yet another folder here and inside that you'd find a plain-text file called document.

If you have your project on your local environment (https://guides.github.com/introduction/getting-your-project-on-github/), then you can use whatever you like to create a folder hierarchy that works for you and git/GitHub will pick up the folders as you commit your changes.
