I'm wondering if anybody knows how I can learn to actually use all the things I've learned here. While I've learned a lot, I don't know how to implement them in the real world. How to use atom, github, etc, to actually begin building my own websites. Are there tutorials on that on treehouse or is it basically a trial and error thing on your own? Any advice is appreciated.

^You can search on this page for material on all of the things you mentioned. And, of course, you'll be constantly googing things.. which I hope you've already been doing while learning here.
If you haven't gotten a 'hello world' page live on the internet, you could start there. Then build something a little bigger.. find some information that isn't online that should be online. The project can start as a simple HTML page, and then you might say 'I want to store and pull the info from a database', which would lead you to learning about backend/databases.
I think having some project (even if small) makes the learning part easier. Learning for the sake of learning is sorta pointless.
