Hello everyone.
Today we're going to learn about GitHub and how to create an account.
GitHub is a web based platform used
by developers to store and manage their code.
You probably have seen GitHub links all
over these videos because they are great way to store your code, manage your code,
see any changes that you have made and keep their versions.
It's a powerful tool for collaboration
and version control, making it easier to work on projects with others.
So let's get started.
GitHub is built around repositories which are like folders for your projects.
Each repository contains all the files,
folders, and documentation associated with a specific project.
GitHub profile a centralized location
for developers to share, collaborate, and contribute to projects.
So today we're going to be creating an account together because we're going
to be using this account for our fast lane setup and without it,
we're not going to be able to set up our fast lane.
So make sure that if you don't have
a GitHub account, you stay with me in this video and create an account with me.
So go to GitHub.com and click on sign up
button and we're going to start the signing up process here.
You can just enter your email address.
I'm going to use apps@gridgum.com for this
particular setup and then just come up with your password.
Great.
And then choose your username.
It can be whatever you want.
I'm just going to name it Gridgum Apps and the I don't want to receive any emails.
Thanks.
And then here's a puzzle that you have to solve for verification purposes.
So let's just do it very quickly. Great.
And now that we're done with that,
let's click on Create account and you should receive a code for it.
Just enter your code and once you're done with that, you're going to have an account
where you can create any amount of repositories that you'd like.
So let's just quickly fill this form out.
I don't want to choose anything from here.
Just going to click on Continue
and then let's just grab the free plan and great
now we're being redirected.
And here's our GitHub account so we can go to our profile and this is how it looks.
Great. That's all that we needed.
See you in the next video.
