I guess my question as a noob is what is the basics I need to know?
The course instructor was talking about Add, Commit, Push or is it Add, Push, Commit? He talked about git status to check your branch.
He was typing in all kinds of stuff that kinda left us all confuse.

I am certain I will slowly learn this in months to come. However I wish there was a way to practice more. Any suggestions, tips, and etc is always appreciated:)

Oh Big THANks to @SamKook for helping me. I decided to switch to Powershell(x86)...after Windows command prompt could not find a folder I created and was looking at in my file explorer.
I decided to open PowerShell and it easily found it. Strange strange.

I pretty much only use git to install code, not save my code there so not an expert on that.

I was going to try and explain it with my limited knowledge of it but a picture is worth a thousand words so here's one that'll do a better job:

It is pretty odd that command prompt wouldn't see it, unless you're working on a remote share.
Also, you should use powershell x64 unless you have a good reason to work in 32bit instead of 64.

Thank again @SamKook I love pretty pictures. I think we will install code as a beginner. I will know this weeks class.

I don't know what happen with the command prompt. Everything was going well with the commands you sent me.
1. And I created the folders.
2. I used dir to see the Folders
3. I created Folder B inside the main Folder.
4. Use dir Projects to see Folder B
5. Create a text file in Folder B
6. Then when I went to dir Folder B. I got errors. Even though my File Explorer said that Folder B and text message was there.

I grew frustrated and tried PowerShell and it instantly found it. I don't have remote share but who knows. But I appreciate your help always.
