A repository on Github is like a folder that lets you organise your project. It contains all the files and versions for that specific project. This post will show you how to create a repository on Github.
Follow this article instead if you are trying to create a Github repository from VS Code.
Create a Repository From Github
Create your first repository on Github by following these simple steps.
- Create a Project: Click on “New repository” in the top right of the page;
- Give your repository a name;
- Initialize this repository with a README;
- Create Your Github Repository: Click on “Create repository”
If you want detailed steps, read this post that tells you how to create a repository on Github.
1. Create a Project
Click on “Start a project” or click on “New repository” in the top right of the page.
2. Give your repository a name
Now give a name to your repository. Make it clear, so you can remember what is all about. As you work on multiple projects, and change organisations, you might start feeling confused. I tend to organise by tool I use (Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Screaming Frog, etc.)
Make it private if you want.
3. Initialize this repository with a README
This is only to make it shorter. The Readme will let you add information about what you project is about.
4. Create Your Github Repository
Click on “Create repository”.
Congratulations! You have created your first repo!
