Using GitHub is a skill of it's own, and requires knowledge of coding practices. It's hugely confronting to someone without coding experience
Yes, absolutely but github (which is only an example, mind you) has a lot of consumer friendly accomodations like github gui and cli.
You can edit stuff directly in someone elses repo (or so it seems) in the web browser. I know you have to do a branch and a pull request but thats something that can be worked on.

Thanks for making my point. :)
Woooooooooooosh
Wow. Great addition. Have a nice day.
The "woosh" is because we're trying to point out that the average person probably doesn't know how to use git cli and make coding documentation.
I knew that. I‘m saying just because the average person doesnt use it does not mean nobody uses it.
