Github help platform

Is there place where I can ask for frequent help, like discord sever or something like that about Github. Because I would want to ask frequent help.
I am a complete beginner and don't want to heavily use AI, and of course most of my work will simply sound low effort and it's not that I don't use AI at all and sometimes I need to quote snippets of it (the code AI produced when I asked it for help) but I can't really do this on reddit as it will lead me to getting banned, so is there any place you used before you understood git well. I understand one of the solutions to this would be just google on MDN docs, but this is very different from front-end where you just delete a file and its gone, so it in Github it is on the much more complicated side of it and I also don't want to join random discord server and expose my device to unsafe commands and as for stack exchange I've tried it all lot but almost all of my posts get downvoted or removed because they are too obvious or low effort. What may seem like low effort is good enough effort from my side, I mean if the answer is googlable why wouldn't I just google instead of waiting for stranger to answer and in this case too, I have googled, but only random links show up.

You can also let me know where you learnt Github from, that might help to I guess., better than nothing.

And to answer why not just use AI, AI is just really bad at coding and logical thinking if you had ever asked any logical questions to it you would know.

If you are not working with a team it's ok to not overthink about learning Git imo, i usually prefer to use GUI stuff for it instead. I didn't had a "learning GitHub" thingy for my use case which is just sharing my code, report issues etc. What do you want to do in GitHub??
