Is it safe to use GitHub?

No. GitHub is not a place for a beginner to start programming . Beginners should not worry about complex syntax or complex commands. They should simply try to understand how to code (The logic to solve a coding problem) or understands others’ code.

GitHub is a web-based interface that uses Git, the open source version control software that lets multiple people make separate changes to web pages at the same time . As Carpenter notes, because it allows for real-time collaboration, GitHub encourages teams to work together to build and edit their site content.

As reported in Wired, ReadWrite, and elsewhere, GitHub is used to manage the collaborative development of recipes, musical scores, books, fonts, legal documents, lessons and tutorials, and data sets .
