New to Github

[Drago-03]

Hi everyone,

I am new to github and have no real idea of how this works actually trying to know better thorough tutorials an stuff. I created a new respo cause i can't find a respo named intro to github. It asks me to wait for 20 seconds and refresh the page after creating the first branch, i did but it won't refresh!!

Hello and welcome to GitHub!

It's great to see your enthusiasm for learning and diving into this platform. GitHub can seem a bit overwhelming at first, but with some patience and practice, you'll find it to be an incredibly powerful tool for software development and collaboration.

Regarding the issue you're facing with your repository (often abbreviated as "repo") not refreshing after creating a branch, here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot:

1. Check Your Internet Connection: Sometimes, connectivity issues can prevent pages from loading or refreshing properly.

2. Manually Refresh the Page: If the automatic refresh isn't working, try manually refreshing your browser page. You can do this by clicking the refresh button on your browser or pressing F5 or Ctrl + R (on Windows) or Cmd + R (on Mac).

3. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes your browser cache can cause issues with loading pages. Try clearing your browser's cache and then refreshing the page.

4. Try a Different Browser: If the issue persists, try accessing your GitHub repo from a different web browser to see if the problem is browser-specific.

5. Check GitHub Status: Occasionally, GitHub might have server issues which could affect the functionality. You can check if there are any ongoing issues at githubstatus.com.

6. Patience is Key: If you've just created a new branch, it might take a moment for the changes to be reflected. After a manual refresh, if it still doesn’t show up, give it a little more time.

7. Seek Help from the GitHub Community: If you continue to experience problems, consider reaching out on GitHub’s forums or communities. Many experienced users are there who can provide valuable insights.

Remember, everyone starts somewhere, and asking questions is a great way to learn. Keep exploring tutorials and don't hesitate to ask for help when needed. The GitHub community is generally very supportive and helpful.

Happy coding and best of luck with your GitHub journey!
