I'm trying to get a grasp on the basics of Git, GitHub, VS Code, and IDEs, but I've been completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of YouTube videos out there! Can anyone recommend some good resources or tutorials that cover these topics without drowning me in information?

For GitHub, you mainly just need to know how to create repositories and do basic operations like clone, push, and pull. The Git book I mentioned has all that info in Section 6. As for VS Code, it's pretty user-friendly, and you just have to get used to its layout and extensions. IDEs can vary; if you're using VS Code, you might not need an IDE at all!
I get it! YouTube can be super overwhelming with all those videos. Have you tried picking a few videos that seem to get good reviews? Usually, channels with a decent number of subscribers and likes are reliable. You can also check out playlists that are structured, so you get a complete learning path instead of random bits.
Exactly! I just want something that's more organized rather than random ones that jump around.
Reading the official documentation is actually a great way to start. For Git, just go through Sections 1, 2, and 3 of the Git book [here](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2). It's very clear and helpful! If you have specific questions later, Stack Overflow can be your best friend too.
Thanks for that info! I really just needed the basics without going into deep rabbit holes.
