Registration
To complete this part 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 like you to know that GitHub is a web service that 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. I recommend making it something that you are okay sharing with others. This is a common question from prospective employers who want a link to your GitHub repository, and if it’s not professional, you may not want to share it. Here are some examples.
- brittanywestlund
- bwestlund
- westlund-mt
- unicorn456
- qwerty123
Your username will be publicly available and often used for many things throughout this course (i.e., homework) and your entire time on GitHub.
Edit Your Profile
After registering, you will need to update your profile to include your full name for grading purposes.
