Hey, im new to github and i have some questions i wanted to ask because i don't really want to mess this up.

So, i installed github, had trouble login in, but a quick google search revealed that i needed to install the .net framework 4. So far, so good, i install .net framework 4 and now i can log in into my account.

Now, that's the part im unsure what to do. Under some edit box, they ask "This is where the repository will be stored on your computer".

Im a little confused, because im used to TortoiseSVN, and when you create a repository with tortoise, it create a directory where it save the special files related to version control. But with git it sound like they're asking for the path of the source code. Am i right?

So, should i enter the path of my source files, or an empty new folder that will be used to store some other files?

Git does keep a hidden directory called .git, where the "version tree" is stored, but you don't really have to worry about this.

The easiest method to get something into your github account is to create the initial repository on github, clone it to your machine, put your files into the cloned directory, commit them, and then do a git push.

If you search youtube for a git/github tutorial, you'll find videos that explain this in detail.

There are also mini-instructions printed when you create a new repo on github, and depending on your previous experience with git, that may be enough to get you started.
