Are you asking "how do I use git/GitHub" or are you asking "how do I
release a piece of software"?

For the first, there are any number of books and articles, and use of
GitHub, CodeBerg, GitLab etc is free for small-scale personal use.

For the second, that gets much more complicated. It depends on how
complex your software is, how you want to package it, how many
operating systems and packaging systems you want to support and so on.
GitHub, GitLab and co have excellent CI/CD features that let you
version, pipeline and release. That said, GitHub (or any other
repository management platform) is not the only way to release
software.

Looking at, playing with and gaining an understanding of an existing
project similar in nature, scope and complexity to yours, would
probably be the best way to gain the knowhow you need.

Alternatively, seek out a partner in crime :-) with the necessary
skills...
