So what is it?

This repository is the written script for a Brazilian Portuguese YouTube video by Rafaella Ballerini that teaches Git and GitHub to beginners. The README is not documentation for a software tool but rather a step-by-step guide the creator follows on camera, walking viewers through each command as they type it in a terminal. The tutorial starts from the very beginning: installing Git, creating a folder on your computer, opening a code editor (VS Code), and running the first Git commands. It covers git init to start tracking a project, git add to stage files before saving, and git commit to record a snapshot with a short message. After that it shows how to rename the main branch and push the project up to GitHub so the code is visible online. From there the script moves through common day-to-day Git actions. It explains how to make changes to files, add new files, and push updates to GitHub so the history of every change is visible on the platform. The green and red diff view on GitHub is briefly explained as a way to see exactly what was added or removed in each commit. The tutorial also covers branches: creating a separate line of work with git checkout -b, committing changes there without touching the main branch, and later merging that work back in with git merge. Finally it shows how to copy someone else's project to your own machine with git clone and how to pull down updates someone else pushed with git pull. This repository exists as a companion to the video rather than as a standalone reference. The README is written in Brazilian Portuguese and is aimed at absolute beginners who have never used version control before.
