I am struggling with my lesson. I have no professor to help me wade through. It's learning how to begin with Git. (nord.pub)

https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-git-basics this is the lesson that i am following. I completed the Create the Repository section successfully. I also completed the Use the Git Workflow section successfully. It's the Modify a File or two where I am facing all the difficulties.

Can someone please show me the way how to do it ?

I’ll be honest with you, don’t use VS code, you’re not ready for it. All you need right now is quite literally a regular windows terminal and a basic IDE. notepad++ or sublime text. ONCE you’ve learned the basics you can go back to VS Code, that VS Code terminal is gonna mess you up.

I know that its MS. Once i have mastered it, i would switch over to Kate.

    I think you replied this in the wrong thread, but I generally agree with this person. Use GitBash as the terminal and only use VS Code as an editor (or even skip VS Code entirely). Not because it's MS, but just because it adds complexity you don't need while learning.

    By the way, if you just want to learn git you can try this website, it's a fully self-contained learning experience with a terminal emulator inside the browser: https://learngitbranching.js.org/
