CS Student from Malaysia: Excited to Learn Git and GitHub!

[sharin-io]

Hi all! I'm Sharin Bi👩🏻‍💻, and I'm excited to join the GitHub Community on Discussions!
A little about me:

• I'm currently studying Computer Science, majoring in Software Development at Swinburne Technology University Course at INTI International College Subang.

• My main interest right now is self-studying Git and GitHub, as well as other beginner-friendly programming languages.

• I'm looking forward to exploring all the different areas of this community and learning more about using GitHub effectively.

I'm curious to know if anyone else is experiencing a 404 error like I am? If so, I'd really appreciate any advice on how to solve this issue.
Looking forward to connecting with fellow developers and learning together!

Hi @sharin-io , welcome to the GitHub Community!

It's great that you're diving into Git and GitHub! Regarding the 404 error, it usually happens when the page or resource you're trying to access doesn't exist, or there's a permission issue (e.g., accessing a private repository or an incorrect link).

Try these steps:

1. Double-check the URL for typos or if the resource exists.
2. Check your permissions if it's a private repo (ensure you're added as a collaborator).
3. Clear your cache or try accessing from a different browser.

Feel free to share more details if the issue persists. Looking forward to seeing your contributions!
