I am no developer but I share how I learn the basics of git, git clients and github.

1/ Intro a bit messy but no code is necessary : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCQHnlnPusY&list=PLRqwX-V7Uu6ZF9C0YMKuns9sLDzK6zoiV

2/ Most important commands : https://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/

3/ True hard stuff. It is a reference for later: https://book.git-scm.com/book/en/v2

4/ Sandbox to play: https://git-school.github.io/visualizing-git/

5/ Choose a git client to have an interface driving git without any command line stuff: https://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

6/ Check video tutorials for github.

7/ finally create you account on github, create a sandbox repositiory, manage changes on 1 or several text files. consider making contributions (future role for LibreCAD) and manage this contributions as Armin for LibreCAD.

The good thing is: even if your modification breaks LibreCAD code, the previous working version is available for ever. So there will not be any modification that cannot be undone.
