I am trying out git on my local system, and I am a complete beginner, that is I have 0 knowledge of git. For a starting I wish to undertake some kind of project to get the hang of how it works. I wish to do it locally, but if you are interested, I am ready to work as a team on GitHub. Do you have any idea ? It ought to be graphical and fun !

I need to learn and experiment a lot. The picture emerges as l progress. Designing what the user sees is also a problem.

Sounds like you like front end better. Html and css are basics of web design and good starting points, some JavaScript might also be beneficial. Here's a fun thing you can do, go to most websites, press f12 and it will open "developer tools". You can then mess around with the website like changing fonts or editing text or inserting pictures. It will only be on your computer and only exist till you close the tab/window but fun to play with

Btw totally don't do this on your friends twitter page and edit the text of their tweet to make them look bad, screenshot it and then use it as blackmail. Totally do not recommend and I never made it look like my friends posting pictures of shirtless men riding unicorns over a rainbow ... Nope that never happened and you should not do that .... ๐Ÿ˜€

I've used f4 for shutting down the system.
