Introduction to GitHub for FiveM developers

GitHub is how the FiveM community shares resources, collaborates on scripts, and backs up work. This is the absolute minimum you need: create a repo, push your resource, clone it somewhere else, and understand the three-command loop you'll run every day.

You'll build: A GitHub account with a repository containing your FiveM resource, ready to clone and push changes.
Time: ~20 minutes
You need: A computer with internet, Git installed, and a resource you want to version-control.
You'll learn: What Git and GitHub are, creating a repository, cloning, committing, pushing, pulling, and the basic workflow every developer uses every day.

BEFORE YOU START

Build it

Create a repository on GitHub

An empty repo is ready to receive your code.

Go to https://github.com/new. Name it my-fivem-script. Leave it public or private. Do NOT check "Add a README" - you already have files to push. Click Create repository.

GitHub shows you a page with commands. Copy the URL: https://github.com/YOURNAME/my-fivem-script.git

Initialize Git in your resource folder

Git is tracking your files locally.
