Would love help with README to walk users through first commit

Open LukeSchlangen opened this issue 6 years ago • 29 comments

We are trying to make a website (plain html and css) that helps walk users through their first commit with an IDE. I tried simplifying things down, and thanks to Visual Studio Code's ability to clone a repository down from the application, I have gotten pretty far without the user needing to use the command line, but I've hit a point with being able to push where I don't know how to do it without the command line.

My biggest concern is that for a brand new user, the command line is a pretty big and intimidating beast, so I would like to do it without that. Any ideas or suggestions? Feel free to make a PR to the README.md if you have an idea.

I have also provided images up to that point (and am able/willing to produce them after that point) if someone has ideas. The biggest thing about not using the command line (besides the learning curve) is that if I can keep everything in Github and Visual Studio Code, then I don't need to write separate examples for Mac and PC and can still be inclusive.
