Registration
To complete this area of the course, you’ll need to have registered for a free GitHub account.
We will discuss GitHub.com more in the future, but in the meantime, I would you like you to know that GitHub is a web service which is used for storing git repositories by developers. Much of that statement is still likely jargon to you, and that’s okay - it will all come in time.
Create a GitHub.com Account
To begin, you need to register with GitHub.com.
Note Please choose a username that you are comfortable with being part of your publicly-visible URL. It’s up to you, but I recommend making it something that you are okay sharing with others. This is a common question from perspective employers. They want a link to your GitHub repository and if it’s something silly, you might not want to share it. Here are some examples.
- shanellocke
- locke
- shanel-locke
- crazyrider456
- dzjewqs
Your username will be publicly available and used often for many things throughout this course (ie. homework) and your entire time on GitHub.
Edit Your Profile
After registering, you need to update your profile to include your full name for grading purposes.
