GitHub, explained like you're 10 — the whole thing on one page

The companion sheet to the 60-second explainer. THE ONLY 4 WORDS YOU NEED: repository (the project's home — a shared folder anyone on Earth can open), commit (a save point — rewind any mistake, nothing is ever lost), branch (your own copy — experiment freely, the real project never notices), and pull request ('here's my change — check it' → review → merge). THE LOOP on one line: branch → commit → pull request → review → merge — how 100+ million strangers build one thing without breaking it. YOUR FIRST REPO TONIGHT: the 4-step no-code walkthrough (sign up free → New repository with a README → edit README in the browser → hit the green Commit button), plus the bonus: Settings → Pages turns your repo into a free hosted website. And the 8-word mini-glossary (main, merge, fork, clone, star, issue, README, open source) so the jargon never scares you again.
