Hey Laura, great article. Minor things. When you do Cd (Change Directory) it usually is backslash like cd C:\myfolder. With Git Add . you are showing how to add all the files that are "untracked". You can also show Git Add "filename" - to only add certain files. Other things to bear is how can you create a Git Repo on Github, and then add local files to the staging and then push the items to remote. You must tell git where is the remote repo. Also, Git works by a way of messages - ie. messages or comments are important, so that's why when you commit, a comment is needed. The good practice is to ensure comments are present actions, so instead of "added config files", should be "adds config files". It is more useful when you look for any issues in the repo and the message are present tense. There is also the git log message to view history of your commits and where your current branch is. These are just pointers. I think your article is impressive. Enjoyed reading it.
