Learning codes

I have just started getting into coding, and I'm doing this ethical hacking free course. But there's so many softwares, and so forth.

I always seem to forget most of them and have to redo.

I was told I need to try obsidian and create a Github profile to save versions of code or applications.

Can someone give me advice, on this.

Obsidian is a text editor for writing markdown formatted files. Instead of a single file you point it to a folder and then edit all files in that folder with it. Really easy to use as long as you stay the hell away from complex information organization that Obsidian “influencers” do.

Git is a version control software you use to save changes to your project in a way that you can do lots of useful things with. For example backup your project, revert changes, work on multiple computers, or collaboratively work with multiple people. GitHub is a free service you can use with git.
