The make a variety of guides the easiest being a 1 x 2 or 1 x 4 clamped down with two c clamps and use the left hand to make sure the circular saws left table edge runs tight against the guide board. Working slow and carefully you can make a straighter cut than pros using their eyes. The secret is keeping the saw tight against the guide. If the cut is real long you should be careful not to bend the board in the middle. Note some people use angle iron, alluminum strips etc. I happen to have a two piece aluminum jig that is two four foot plus sections that slide together to make it long enough to rip a 8 foot sheet of plywood.. There is a slot built in underneath that two clamps slide in. There has been some times when I put a screw in the middle to keep me from bending it by pushing the saw too hard against it.
