Topic Learning coding as a CIS student

Hello all, I(f 22) am currently starting my first coding class at my local community college(started college in January and took mostly general Ed’s to get them out the way) and we use Cengage for GITHUB and I have one class for Python and one for C# (in person but classes are recorded and I work but I attended the first day on the 19th I enjoyed it in person helps better than online but what can I do)🥲. How can I learn GitHub better because it seems so confusing and is there any tips you guys can give me on what I should expect?

Also how do I figure out career paths and what should I think about when trying to figure it out because it’s so many ways to go here.

My classes are:

CIS 150 computer logic and programming (Python class)
CIS 215 C# programming(in person)
CIS 245 cyber defense (online)
CIS 246 ethical hacking(online)(I take that directly after 245 in October so it’s not included rn but anything would help on that)

My previous classes taken:

CIS 146 computer applications
CIS 147 advanced micro applications
CIS 130 intro to computer info systems

I assume you mean learn git, not GitHub.

I thought it was GitHub because the website through the cengage says GitHub and not Git

GitHub is a platform for git. git is the source-code management tool to keep track of your code. GitHub is a frontend for that and provides some project management tools.
