GitHub has fantastic resources on getting started.

Helpful but at same time not what i was looking for. so Thanky you

1. Get github account
2. Create Repository
3. Copy/Paste files into repository
4. Manually copy the url leading to the plaintext version of each file into your program*
5. Put program on pastebin
6. download program from pastebin using normal pastebin command
7. run program

*example (doesn't actually work, the URL is fake):

local files = {
  ["filename"] = "https://www.githubusercontent.com/MyUsername/MyRepo/filename.lua"
}
for k, v in pairs( files ) do
  local h = http.get( v )
  if h then
    local f = fs.open( k, "w" )
    f.write( h.readAll() )
    f.close()
    h.close()
  else
    error( "couldn't connect" )
  end
end

Also be sure in newer versions to check, whether github is acutally on the http whitelist.

Thank you but how do I put files on github?(IK IM A NOOB)

You can skip creating issues, branches, and pull requests. Other than that, it's pretty strait forward.

helpful but i still don't get how to put my code and stuff in

Step 1: Create a Repository.

…

Do you have a repository? If not, click the + next to your name in the upper right hand side of the website

It'll drop down two options.

Select New Repository

Give it a name

Check the box next to "Initialize this repository with a README"

Click the big green create button

Now, next to your repository name there will be a +

Click it

Name file, copy and paste file contents into file

Click "Commit New File"

Repeat

This is exactly what you're looking for. Have you followed this guide, step by step yet? Try it. Do the whole thing. Once you've done every bit of it, maybe with some placeholder code or something just to try it out, then come back and link us to the github repo that was created in the process and tell us how it differed from what you were trying to do.

making an assumption on your OS preference here, but if you want to develop on your pc then you may want this (do the tutorials above me first though) https://windows.github.com/

I would recommend GitHub for Windows/Mac if you have those operating systems. Git's main website has a pretty good tutorial for the command line, you probably don't need to go beyond the first couple of 'levels'. Generally setting up is composed of:

git init # Create new repo
git add -A # Adds everything
git remote add origin https://github.com/<User>/<Repo>.git # (Adds the origin - the server that you push to - see more here https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-remote/)
git commit # Code is managed in commits - you type a message here
git push -u origin master # Push to the origin on the master branch -u sets the 'upstream' branch - the branch that you push to.
