Setting up GitHub Account
Hey there! Hope you're doing well.
In the last blog, we saw what GitHub is, and how it helps a team manage their code. In this blog, we will set up a GitHub account and explore a few features.
Creating your GitHub account
Go to github.com.
This is the landing page of GitHub. The globe that you see is interactive and it shows recent activities in some public repos. Click on it, move it around, and explore.
If you already have an account, click on the “Sign in” on the top right corner and enter your credentials on the page that opens up, like the one below.
If you don't already have an account, click on the “Sign up” on the landing page or “Create an account.” on the login page.
Fill in your details in the above form when you reach the Sign-up page. Choose a username that you like. This username will be your representative and will appear in all public places in GitHub. So choose creatively. To verify the account, do whatever the puzzle requires. Then click on the “Create account”. That's it. You will then be taken to your GitHub profile.
GitHub Dashboard
This is how the GitHub account looks like. Since I have already been working for some time, I have a few repos created.
You can create as many repos as you want and also choose to keep them private or public. A public repo can be viewed by anyone on GitHub and cloned.
I will tell you how to create GitHub repos and other GitHub features as and when they come into our use throughout the next blogs. Till then, happy learning.
