Exactly the information I was looking for. I figured there was more you could do with Git/GitHub, and you clarified this. But this is pretty much all the information I was wanting. Excellent free course for the basics. Thank you.

unfortunately very superficial coverage of the GitHub Pages. Nothing about customs domains and so many other important things...
