Learning how to use Github is incredibly important to learn the basic workflow that you will experience in work! Here's a short guide on the commands you need to know: Link
Google is honestly your best friend most of the time, before asking someone else for help try to find the answers online! Stack overflow is a great resource but use it wisely rather than just plagiarizing the code. On the surface, looking at the answers might not be beneficial, it will require you to break down the code and analyze it for yourself. Get comfortable looking at documentation.
I have a collection of CS books I can share just ask or email me and I can send it to you!

If you are looking for more books, here's a recommended list: Link
Note: Most LCSC Computer Science Books should be available online for free.
While this is list is compiled to provide an entry way, the most important part of learning and honing your programming skills is your personal projects.
Don't be lazy and just ride through courses, CS is a wide field and is very competitive and demands you to keep learning, lists creates procrastination.
Use this list as a framework to build upon your current skills and help develop your own projects.
Also talk to your instructors! Though small in numbers, they are all excellent and willing to go lengths to help you out!
