What has that got do with anything ? If you want to learn how to use MCUs (Arduino) there is a lifetime of videos, demos and full on tutorials for free. Same goes for electronics too just as easy to get going. Or get ‘The Art of Electronics’ read thru that ! 
I think maybe you are trying to run before you can walk. Back to my point, none of the above needs you to go near ‘Github’ hell I looked at Git once and thought " Nah" I’ve got a life to lead. Anyway designing PCBs and designing circuits are two seperate things and you will need skills so start straight away. Tip of the day 
don’t buy cheap Breadboards.

Sometimes you need to use someone else’s footprints, clone or submodule their repos, etc.
I don’t know what GitHub is so don’t understand why LOL.
Trying to use found somewhere symbols/footprints typically lead to:

This is really funny. (We’re sooo far off topic here, but I’m personally really enjoying the conversation, so thank you to all who have contributed!)
For all of you regulars on the KiCad Forums to reference:
There is a group of people out in the world who, while not huge, are very passionate about mechanical keyboards. Many are involved because of a desire for better ergonomics, but even more are coming at it with an interest in form, style, and customization. The customization route leads them eventually to designing/building hand-wired keyboards and even designing/building custom PCBs. There are manufacturers of semi-custom keyboards whose designs are often open-source. Those who seek to make truly custom keyboards often use parts of open-source, “proven” designs to develop for themselves. Using community-vetted footprints (rather than designing one’s own from the ground up) seems like a common-sense approach to design in cases where we’re using parts with tight tolerances and where function and usability are critically important.
