The learning path

Use this guide in three short phases. You do not need to memorize every command.

  1. Set up: install VS Code, Git, and a Python workflow.
  2. Build safely: navigate the project, run it, and protect secrets.
  3. Share carefully: review, commit, and push only the files you intend to share.
Important note

Golden rule: check where you are, check what changed, run the command, and verify the result.

The daily loop

Workflow
Open project → git status → edit → run/test → git diff
             → git add app.py → git diff --cached → commit → push

Replace sample names such as my_project, app.py, USERNAME, and REPOSITORY with your own values.
