 ====== Learning Git and Github ======
+This guide will provide you with resources and instructions to start becoming proficient in using Git as well as Github
+====== Before you start =======
+At this point, things can get a little frustrating and confusing. We highly recommend that you learn git and github as a team and figure out things together. You don't necessarily have to work physically together all the time (it might help though) but ask your teammates when you're stuck somewhere. If you don't understand something or you're getting a weird error message feel free to ask around. By all means, ask the other teams as well!
+This is also one of those things you **must** actively use to learn it properly. You can read about riding a bike all you want, but at some point you'll have to get on one. There may be training wheels early on, but eventually with enough work you'll be able to take them off and explore things on your own.
 ====== Prerequisites =======

+===== I. Create your own repository =====
-**Create your own repository**\\
 Create your own repository on Github and publish it. Put your biography on there.
-**Create a team repository**\\
+===== II. Create a team repository =====
 Create a repository for your team on Github. It doesn't matter who creates it. Whoever creates it should give the appropriate permissions to the rest of the team members. After it's created, post your team's summary on the README.md file.
 After the summary is posted, every team member should add their name and biography in the same README.md file. Work on this together physically and coordinate everything. You might run into some errors - don't panic! Look online to see if you can resolve the issue and keep trying.
+====== After the fact ======
+If you've finished everything here, great. Make sure you have a solid understanding of what's covered here and discuss with your team if you're still worried about understanding some things. You can also talk to your mentors and leadership team.
