Hey! So, I mostly code in processing java and py. But I wanna get started with javascript.  
I’ve tried the online p5 editor. But I couldn’t find a way to integrate it with github.

I tried using localhost just like Dan showed in one of his videos. But I can’t get it to work. All other resources I’ve seen online are just too confusing to me

I’d also like to use other libraries such as D3 using script tags, i.e without downloading the zip file.  
`<script src="https://d3js.org/d3.v5.min.js"></script>`

I’m just so new to this whole coding in javaScript that I don’t even know where to start.  
Is there like a better workflow I can follow?

I started here:  
[https://p5js.org/get-started/](https://p5js.org/get-started/)

And also able to use the Processing P5 mode but had to update manually the p5.min.js file.

I can;t comment on the GitHub integration.
