First, let's distinguish between 'git' (the revision
control system and tool) and 'Github' (a company
providing an internet-hosted, free, revision control
service using 'git').  As noted previously, they are
distinct and independent.

This class does not require or recommend the use of
Github at all.  It does require the use of 'git',
however.

For your notes, you should follow the instructions
provided at
https://stevens.netmeister.org/631/git.html.

Scanning hand-written notes is not quite what I'm
looking for.  Instead, I'd suggest that you transcribe
your hand-written notes into a text file and commit
that.

Note also that I'm not looking for you to commit
whatever notes you are taking during class, but
rather answers to the questions noted at
https://stevens.netmeister.org/631/course-notes.html.
