I am new on wordpress and are using the themes as well. May I know where do I put a new file if let say main.php? I want to make a custom main page and replace the index.php page on the theme. Do I need to put it under htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\themes\<theme-name>. I am using this locally on my computer.

On my main.php, I also include css file. Where do I insert the css file as well?

you can set your front page in wordpress dashboard customization options

Go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel.

and select the page listing in dropdown , but before that you have to create a new page and select you custom page from dropdown . see the below image.

enter image description here

refer this for more info

you can have your css file keep on style directory of your theme and link it in your main page using 

get_template_directory_uri() . '/styles/your-style-file.css'

thanks for the help. For the get_template_directory_uri(), do I need to put on the admin page or on my main.php file?

Do I need to put this on the main page is_front_page() as well
