Ransomware attack destroyed all my files, what I should be concerned about?!

I was working on a project and needed to download some codes from github. Apparently one of those downloads included a Ransomware. So my laptop was locked with blue screen, eventually I was able to login but couldn’t open any word/pdf docs. There was a txt file that ask me to send bitcoin or they will post my data everywhere! Honestly I don’t care cause I don’t have a lot of important data! But I am just curious to know if they can really access my files, or if it’s just a software that run and spread the virus locally!! Is there anything I have to worry about? Should I be concerned? Thank you!
