I am checking out code using GitHub client for Windows. When I press "clone" button in browser, it looks like I have a local copy. However, there are a few files that GitHub is asking me to commit. Now, I have not even made any changes to anything on my local. So why is it asking me to "commit"?
Can anyone tell me why I am facing this problem. Also, are there any good GitHub tutorials to follow?
Thanks in advance,
There is a great github tutorial here, that should get you started with the basics: http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/.

This might be a basic github question, but I'm having trouble finding the right keywords to google because I don't know the terminology. Apologies and thanks in advance.
I've noticed with library dependencies in library.json, under "dependencies", there is often a github remote repo link with a version number after the #
For example
https://github.com/codewitch-honey-crisis/htcw_ili9341.git#1.0.0"
What is that exactly after the #? A branch? A release?
More importantly, how do I make my github repo expose these. Like, I want to make a 1.0.0 one now for htcw_ili9341.git but later I may want to make 1.0.1
Using the github website, and/or the command line, how do I go about this?
It would be really helpful if you explained as you went as well.
So you know where I'm coming from with this, I've been using github for awhile but only for the most basic things, and driving it all through VS Code for the most part, sometimes resorting to the web interface and only occasionally dropping to the command line, which I've done a handful of times to resolve merge conflicts. I'm not an expert, but not completely new to it either.
anything after # is never posted to the server. It's basically a comment in this specific instance.
So basically I am trying to learn C# and JS and I'm doing so by reading documentation and solving some small exercises.
I read somewhere that uploading most of your work to GitHub is helpful when you apply for a job so people can actually see that you've been working.
Since I am not that familiar with GitHub (I read some documentation but it confused me a bit) I wanted to know what is the best way to upload my exercises there?
I think you should do some beginner course about "Git" and "Github".
It's definitely a good idea to use GitHub desktop. This tool makes it easier to manage and commit changes.
The easiest way would be to create a git repository for each of your projects. Put the files in there and upload them to GitHub.
Try looking at GitHub documentation like this to get started:

Hi I'm a newbie on jekyll.
I have a problem with building my github blog using jekyll.
I succeeded building jekyll blog on my local like below image.
works in local
And I did some git works to my github repository. https://github.com/ooroogi/ooroogi.github.io
I thought I followed all the steps in the guide maybe.
But All I can see is only blank page.
https://ooroogi.github.io/
So I digged lots of another working sites to solve this problem, but I can't find what makes difference.
I Hope anyone of you can help my issue.
Thanks.
GitHub Pages only supports certain themes out-of-the-box:
https://pages.github.com/versions/
To use custom themes you need to use their remote_theme feature
I've looked on github, and googled this, but can't find anything. I'd like to see a history of downloads of code on one of our repositories if that is possible. Thanks.
As far as I know Github currently does not support this - at least not exposed to the general public.
You may want to contacting support to see if they can assist.
I've looked everywhere but I can't find any way to post code to GitHub. I tried making a repository but then it tells me I have to download a command prompt thing?
Why can't I just post code directly to it? Is there any other way?
If you are simply looking for a way to put some code online, then you can use another feature of that site calles "gists".
If you are on a mac, then there is another app you can use (made by the GitHub guys).
But the most relevant piece of software is what you refer to as " command prompt thing", which is a version control application with a relatively steep learning curve called GIT.
On a final note you might be misunderstanding what GitHub is useful for and might be better off looking at something a bit less complicated. If you are willing to explain exactly what you are looking for then i'm sure the StackOverflow community will be willing to help you :)
You may use github's gist.
Although, the main point of using github is to share git repositories.
While GitHub has recently added limited support for editing files through the web interface, it's intended as hosting for software projects using the Git source control software. The most-used interface is the command-line git tool, though there are graphical interfaces such as TortoiseGit as well as Git components for many IDEs.
If all you're looking for is a place to put small code fragments for sending to others (like a pastebin), then you probably want Gists instead: http://gist.github.com/
Github is a code hosting site for Git.
The "command prompt thingy" is likely Git. If you don't use Git, it's unlikely you want Github either.
Luckily there are graphical Git front ends such as SmartGit.
