If it makes you feel even better, I'm a software engineer and I had lots of trouble learning to use GitHub and git, it's embarrassing to admit it but I'm super glad I learned!

Git isn't properly taught. I've studied programming both in college and in a boot camp, and both times they rushed right over git, showing only the bare essentials. This left me unprepared for the real world. I didn't know how to do basic stuff like exclude files or even undo changes.

It's so complex, they really should have a separate class for it.

Do you have a proper good tutorial to recommend?

I like the git katas which go along with Johan Abildskov's book Practical Git. I recommend the book, but you don't need it in order to do the katas.
