Set-Up and Pre-requisites

Making repositories on GitHub.com

Anay Misra , Student Class XII at Amity International School

You can store a variety of projects in GitHub repositories, including open source projects. With open source projects, you can share code to make better, more reliable software. You can use repositories to collaborate with others and track your work.

  1. Go to https://github.com/ and sign in (or create an account if you don't have one yet).

  2. Once you are signed in, click on the "+" sign on the top right corner of the page.

  3. In the dropdown menu, select "New Repository".

  4. On the "Create a new repository" page, enter a name for your repository in the "Repository name" field. This can be any name you choose, but it's a good idea to choose a name that describes what your repository is about.

  5. You can also add a description for your repository in the "Description" field, which can help others understand what your repository is all about.

  6. Select the "Public" or "Private" option for your repository. If you select "Private", only you and anyone you grant access to will be able to view your repository.

  7. If you want to add a README file to your repository, check the "Add a README file" checkbox.

  8. You can also add a license and a .gitignore file to your repository, if you want to. These are optional, but they can be helpful if you're working on an open-source project.

  9. Once you're done filling in the details, click on the "Create repository" button at the bottom of the page.

  10. Congratulations! You have created a repository on GitHub.com.
