Would love help with README to walk users through first commit

[LukeSchlangen]

We are trying to make a website (plain html and css) that helps walk users through their first commit with an IDE. I tried simplifying things down, and thanks to Visual Studio Code's ability to clone a repository down from the application, I have gotten pretty far without the user needing to use the command line, but I've hit a point with being able to push where I don't know how to do it without the command line.

My biggest concern is that for a brand new user, the command line is a pretty big and intimidating beast, so I would like to do it without that. Any ideas or suggestions? Feel free to make a PR to the README.md if you have an idea.

I have also provided images up to that point (and am able/willing to produce them after that point) if someone has ideas. The biggest thing about not using the command line (besides the learning curve) is that if I can keep everything in Github and Visual Studio Code, then I don't need to write separate examples for Mac and PC and can still be inclusive.

how can i help

[LukeSchlangen]

Would love it if you read through the README, followed the instructions so far, and made any suggestions on what you think might fit in next steps. Especially any ideas on how to finish the rest of the Pull Request process without the use of the command line.

Alright

Thanks

how do you open it in vs code

[LukeSchlangen]

You can clone from vs code with the command template. I'm going offline for the next 10 hours, but I can give more details tomorrow. Thank you so much for your interest!

Why avoid the command line? If you're developing, you're going to be using it at some point, so why not get aquainted with it?

I can make a pretty good guide for that if needed.

If you're sticking to your wish to make it command line free, I would also recommend a tool kalled gitkraken. That piece of software is amazing for git.

@redxtech I love the command line (and gitkraken), I just worry that it might not be straight-forward enough to follow for someone who has never used it before. I was also thinking that keeping things inside of an application would make the guide identical regardless of mac or pc. If you think we can make a pretty good guide for that (for windows and mac) I'm all ears.
