+
+A common misunderstanding for new Developers is that Git and GitHub are the same thing, but they aren't.
+
+Git is decentralised, so doesn't rely on using external repositories on services like GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.
+
+You can run `git init` and use it locally without pushing to any remote services.
+
+These services also add extra terminology, such as forks, syncing and pull or merge requests which aren't part of Git itself.
+
+This can cause confusion, which is why [I think it's important to learn Git itself][0] instead of relying on external services or desktop apps.
+
+And, if you're going to use a remote repository, consider something like Gitea, which you can host yourself and keep control of your data.
