As part of an ongoing mission to making it easier to learn how Git and GitHub works, we’ve revamped our documentation. Not only have we redesigned how GitHub:Help looks, we’ve also rethought how it is structured. The new system is built around the idea of “Hey, I want to learn something new today.” The new GitHub:Help serves not only as a location for troubleshooting, but also as a portal to new GitHub features and Git tricks.
Whether it’s learning how to create your first repo or how to remove accidentally committed sensitive data, the new GitHub:Help makes your learning both easy and more effective.
