Lesson 2 / 20
Account & Your First Repository
Create a GitHub account and your first repository using the website or the gh command-line tool.
Creating an account
Sign up at github.com with a username, email and password. The free tier covers unlimited public and private repositories.
Create a repository
On GitHub, click New repository, name it, choose public/private, and optionally add a README. The gh CLI does the same from your terminal.
gh repo create my-app --public --add-readmeNaming & visibility
Pick a clear, lowercase-with-hyphens name — you can change visibility (public/private) later under Settings.
