It would be nice to show the guts - the git cli itself, the notion or local and remote repo. In my experience, it will be very useful after the new user hits the first snag. And would be good to tell there are many other free repos, not just GitHub.

Excellent stuff here. This is going to be quite useful. I've been relying far too much on Terminal to pull and push to Git so this is just what I need as I've been meaning to try out the Git features using Visual Studio Code - VSCode is my friend again as I discovered the remote feature for code editing on SBC's. It rocks!

One thing worth noting, as it is still a gotcha as far as I am concerned, is GitHub's reliance on Tokens rather than passwords to push (pull?) code back into a repo. It's a bit of a convoluted process. Not sure how VSCode handles tokens. If its anything like remote coding then its probably handled pretty seamlessly.
