I've seen a lot of GitHub tutorials that just link to documentation or videos, and they don't really help me learn. I know GitHub is a repository for open-source code, but I really struggle to navigate it. I'm not looking to learn everything about GitHub—just some straightforward tips on how to find useful programs. Is there a way to browse for software or any features that help categorize the content? I'm tired of wasting hours searching manually. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Check out Git tutorials like the ones over at GitKraken! They cover a lot of basics and can help you understand how to navigate GitHub better.
Honestly, after 15 years of using GitHub, I’ve never really browsed it as a catalog. Usually, I discover projects through other means and then find the repo directly on GitHub. But if you're looking for categories, there's a 'topics' feature that’s similar to tags on other platforms. That might help you find what you're looking for!
I wouldn't recommend just browsing GitHub aimlessly. Instead, try looking up some online tutorials or YouTube videos. Often they’ll have a GitHub repository linked for hands-on practice. For example, I recently played with a Blazor app and found a repository for Material Design that had all the UI controls I needed. It's much easier to understand a project when you have context behind it.
Are you considering paying someone for tutoring? Sometimes personalized help can make a big difference.
I'm curious about why you want to add programs to your repository and what exactly you mean by that. Just wanted to help clarify things a bit!
