Use Git in VS Code · Visual Studio Code - The Essentials
To work with Git, you need to be in a directory that is already a git repository. If you already have such a directory on your machine - for example, because you cloned it via the command line or another tool - you just need to open the directory with VS Code.

I know green files mean that the file is not tracked, but what does this exactly mean and how can I fix this?
This is part of git version control. Untracked means it’s usually a completely new file added to the git repository and has not been committed (therefore not tracked). More on reddit.com

Quickstart: use source control in VS Code
November 3, 2021 - If the command isn't found, restart VS Code after installing Git. If it still fails, see source control troubleshooting. Configure the author name and email for your commits. Replace the placeholders with your details: git config --global user.name "<your-name>" git config --global user.email "<your-email>" Skip this step if your identity is already configured. These values identify the author in Git history, not your sign-in credentials.

March 21, 2024 -

I'm sorry if these are silly questions but I've been pulling my hair out and trying to find solutions online with no luck.

So let me just preface by saying I don't know a lot about Git and Github. I've read up on them so theoretically I think I get what they are. Git hub is a version control file repository website/server(?) where you can store your code and changes you make to it. You can also use it to collaborate.

Git is version control system which comes with a command line language (?)and can be used with many version control systems including Github. So now, I have an account with Github and I do my coding in VS Code. I have a project I was working on and every time I changed something significant I would go to source control and commit changes to the repository on my git hub. I am able to access all these versions when using vs code, however when I log in to my git hub account using a web browser. I have all the repositories I have made bu t they don't contain anything, they are empty.

I don't really get how to have these files that are on my workstation to be automatically linked with Git. My goal is to have some kind of portfolio to showcase some of the projects I've been working on. But I seem to be missing some basic or fundamental knowledge for me to use Git Hub in this way.

Please help me

Edit: Made my description for Git clearer(?) lol...idek if I did that

Edit2: Solved! Thanks !
