I’ve looked everywhere but I can’t find any way to post code to GitHub. I tried making a repository but then it tells me I have to download a command prompt thing?
Why can’t I just post code directly to it? Is there any other way?

If you are simply looking for a way to put some code online, then you can use another feature of that site calles “gists“.
If you are on a mac, then there is another app you can use (made by the GitHub guys).
But the most relevant piece of software is what you refer to as ” command prompt thing”, which is a version control application with a relatively steep learning curve called GIT.
On a final note you might be misunderstanding what GitHub is useful for and might be better off looking at something a bit less complicated. If you are willing to explain exactly what you are looking for then i’m sure the StackOverflow community will be willing to help you 🙂
