GitHub has a server repository (project directory & all files and folders) on the GitHub website and a local repository which sits in your computer. The User works on the local repository, which is a complete set of files that allow local changes. Changes to the project are committed at appropriate times to the local repository, and then can be pushed & pulled with the GitHub repository in order to insure version control.
Push - sends your committed changes in your local repository to the GitHub repository, where those changes are integrated into the project, and are now available to everyone else.
Pull - updates your local files with the latest version from the server
Commit - Takes changes that you have been making locally to the project and saves them to your local repository
Synch - provides first a push of committed changes, then a pull from the GitHub repository, and provides that both local & GitHub versions are identical.
Clone in Desktop - used to create a local repository and launches GitHub for Mac. Help file.
Repository - a location for your project????
Download ZIP - provides a compressed file of the whole project. This is simplest way to go if you just want to inspect & run the program without any need for synching & updating. You can then unZIP the program on your local drive.
