Repository needed beginner-friendly materials for users starting to learn GitHub.

Changes

New Documentation Files

  • GETTING_STARTED.md - Core concepts (repository, branch, commit, PR, merge), terminology glossary, first steps guide
  • CHEAT_SHEET.md - Web interface operations, CLI commands with syntax, workflow patterns, common issues reference
  • TROUBLESHOOTING.md - 10+ common beginner problems with solutions, error resolution patterns, help resources

README Updates

  • Added navigation section linking to all learning resources
  • Added "New to GitHub?" callout directing beginners to getting started guide
  • Added "Additional Learning Resources" section for post-course learning

Structure

All resources are standalone and progressively detailed:

  • README → high-level course overview
  • GETTING_STARTED.md → concepts before hands-on
  • CHEAT_SHEET.md → ongoing reference
  • TROUBLESHOOTING.md → self-service problem resolution

Original course workflow and GitHub Actions automation unchanged.
