What is GitHub

  • A web-based platform that uses Git, a version control system, to allow people to collaborate on, store, manage, and share code. (Google tells me this)

  • A social media where you can stalk, leverage, and even contribute to others' work.

  • A place where you upload your amazing and awesome projects so other people can see and use your codes.

GitHub repositories

  • Each Repository is a project One of mine
  • Therefore Your GitHub page is basically a collection of your projects My Page
  • You can decide whether to let other see your project (public repository) or not (private repository)

To create a new repository:

  1. Go to your Github page
  2. Click on "Repositories"
  3. Click "New"
  4. Fill out the name in the Repository name
  5. Give a brief description
  6. Choose a privacy setting (Public vs Private)
  7. Click on the "Add a README file" checkbox
  8. Click "Create repository"

Making changes directly to your repository:

  1. Click on the file you want to make change
  2. Make the change
  3. Commit Changes ...
  4. Give a description
  5. Commit change

A bit cumbersome, isn't it?
