Well I do not know what to say about this. If you want people to read docs for you, I am sure there are school courses you can signup for
I found the github documents rather good when compared to other sites.
Also, I do know what this has to do with Security. Sounds like it should be in The "Linux Software" or the General Area if just a rant.
Agreed.
I figured out part of the specific reasons... will read over guidelines for thread.
other rants for github devs/security people 2. Other sites such as a file sharing site are simple or don't have as high of learning curve. 3. Doesn't seem to use WYSIWYG for the GUI. example: create folder, (typed commands not GUI): To create a new folder in a repository click “create a new file.” Type your new folder’s name in the area where you would write the file name, and at the end of the file name type a “/” to initilize it as a folder. After this you can create a new file in the folder.
4. It's new or run by Microsoft and not Linus Trevolds anymore... Example a. Problems such as copilot and data mining; Example b. the site data used differently --how make money, advertising or payment model different ; enterprise 5. rapidly added features... 6. people don't have to follow documentation standards or programming methods,... some don't document algorithms... (There are different ratings or guidelines for the quality and security of open source software...) 6. binaries and sdk, sources, library's incomplete or obsolete.

Reason: make into github platform security issue... add examples
Acronym/idea for documenting whole system better (public domain): free reads: Free, Reverse-Engineerable, Everything(entire system/every user type), Algorithmic, Documentation of the System.
At one time had documentation training, we were taught about having seperate journals... troubleshooting, configuration, etc. Also on one self-project (still have) needed documentation per type of user, because one user needed to be taught differently than another user.
example of documentation types by reponsibility: administrator (set up for end user), maintainer, developer, intern, instructor, end user... manuals

Reason: add more types of documentation, docs on repo. sites
That may be a great partial solution, @rtmistler ,all github commands I found on a single page. git-lfs is an add-on or extension and I will need to learn it for bigger projects (I think). Found a book on git entitled: Progit, --git-scm.com/book/en/v2-- original problems solved (though not git-lfs), found multiple repo hosting sites, such as sourcehut, notabug
