GitHub can feel intimidating if you didn’t come up as a developer, especially now that AI coding agents can build software before you’ve learned what a repo, branch, or pull request even is.
That’s why The Neuron is going LIVE with Cassidy Williams from GitHub for a beginner-friendly walkthrough of how GitHub actually works.
📅 Thursday, September 10 ⏰ 12 PM CT / 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET
What we’ll cover: - What GitHub is and why you’d use it - How to create an account and navigate GitHub - Repos, pushing, pulling, merging, cloning, and forking - How to connect AI coding agents to GitHub - How to safely push and merge code - How to work on multiple features using worktrees - Best practices for keeping projects private and organized - GitHub Actions, key management, deployment, and more
The goal: Take you from “AI built me an app, now what?” to actually understanding how to manage, collaborate on, and safely ship your code with GitHub.
Cassidy will lead the walkthrough, while The Neuron’s Grant Harvey and Corey Noles jump in with beginner questions and audience Q&A throughout.

More from The Neuron: AI Explained
Neurosurgeon-scientists Alex Ksendzovsky and Jon Pomeraniec explain how The Biological Computing Company uses living neurons as a research platform for AI. Their team grows roughly 150,000 cells on a 4,096-electrode array, sends in patterns such as handwritten digits, records how the neurons respond, and models useful computational behaviors in software. They say those neuron-inspired techniques are already helping GPU-based video-generation systems run about 5x faster with roughly 80% lower inference cost, while their longer-term work explores robots, world models, and real-time biological compute.
