feature: generalize github chapters to "working with remote repositories" #191

Closed lnnrtwttkhn closed 3 weeks ago

I think we should generalize the chapters on github to chapters about "remote repositories".

specifically, it would be nice to add instructions how to integrate with other repository hosting services, mainly gitlab which is used by many institutions, e.g., see gitlab of university of hamburg.

the general idea would be to separate the github chapters into all the contents that are github-specific (e.g., how to create an account etc.) and those that apply to any remote repository (e.g,. push, pull, clone) etc.?

I am not sure yet, if it makes more sense to split this to separate "chapters" or "sections" or whether to use tabsets. I would probably play around and see what makes most sense.

this will likely be a medium to major overhaul of the github chapters, but worth it in the long run.

could you look into this @konradpa? thanks!
