Saving your progress on GitHub is a fundamental part of using the platform to track changes and collaborate with others. To save your progress, you'll want to use Git, a distributed version control system that GitHub is built upon. Here are the basic steps:

Initialize a Git Repository: If you're starting a new project, navigate to your project's directory in your terminal and run git init. If you're working on an existing project hosted on GitHub, you can clone it to your local machine using git clone <repository URL>.

Make Changes: Create or modify files in your project as needed.

Stage Changes: Use git add <file> to stage the changes you want to save. You can also use git add . to stage all changes.

Commit Changes: Commit your staged changes with a descriptive message using git commit -m "Your message here". This saves your changes to your local repository.

Push to GitHub: If you're working with a remote repository on GitHub, use git push to send your committed changes to the remote repository.

Pull Request (Optional): If you're collaborating with others on a project, you can create a pull request on GitHub to propose changes and merge them into the main project.

Regularly Fetch and Pull: To keep your local repository in sync with the remote repository and to collaborate effectively, it's a good practice to regularly run git fetch and git pull to retrieve and incorporate changes from the remote repository.

These are the basic steps to save your progress on GitHub. Remember to replace <file> with the actual file name or use appropriate Git commands based on your project's needs.
