Hey everyone! I've been learning to code for about five months now, but there's a major issue I've been struggling with that I really need help on. I'm really confused about how to manage my GitHub repositories in VS Code. For example, I've been trying to switch branches and upload my work to the correct repository, but I often end up pushing the wrong project, like an old one that's three months outdated. I also seem to be missing important files like my .env file. I seriously have no clue how to do a lot of things, like switching repositories, pushing/pulling changes, starting or closing branches, and even how to leave a repository. If anyone has tips or guidance, I'd really appreciate it! Here's a link to my GitHub: https://github.com/charleysguidetothegalaxy

It sounds like you might have inadvertently initialized a Git repository in your home directory instead of just your project folder. To fix this, go to your home directory and delete any `.git` folders you find. Then, in VS Code, make sure to open only the folder that contains your specific project, which should have its own Git repository. That should help you stay organized!
Thanks for the tip! I often get lost in the folder structure myself. I’ll give this a try!
