GITHUB

Introduction

◦ GitHub is a developer platform that allows developers to create, store,


manage and share their code. It uses Git software, providing the
distributed version control of Git plus access control, bug tracking,
software feature requests, task management, continuous integration, and
wikis for every project. Headquartered in California, it has been a
subsidiary of Microsoft since 2018.
◦ It is commonly used to host open source software development projects. As
of January 2023, GitHub reported having over 100 million developers and
more than 420 million repositories, including at least 28 million public
repositories. It is the world's largest source code host as of June 2023.
Creating a code file on GitHub involves a few
straightforward steps. Here’s a basic guide to
get you started:
◦ Steps:

1. Sign in to GitHub: Ensure you are logged into your GitHub account.

2. Create a New Repository:

• Click on the + sign in the upper right corner of any GitHub page and select New repository.

• Choose a name for your repository. This should be meaningful and related to the project you're working on.

• Optionally, add a description to explain what your project is about.

• Decide if you want your repository to be public (visible to everyone) or private (accessible only to you or
collaborators). Public repositories are free on GitHub.

3. Initialize with a README file: You have the option to initialize your repository with a README,
which is a good practice as it helps others understand your project. Select the checkbox labeled Initialize this
repository with a README
4. Create a New File: Once your repository is created, click on the Add file button and choose Create new file.
Give your file a name ending with the appropriate file extension.

5. Write Your Code: GitHub provides a text editor where you can write or paste your code directly.
Write or paste your code into the editor.

6. Commit Your Changes: Scroll down to the bottom of the page. You'll see a section where you can add a commit message.
Enter a brief description of the changes you made (e.g., "Initial commit: added Python script for data analysis").

7. Below the commit message, select the Commit new file button to save your changes.

8. Pushing Changes (if using Git locally): If you have Git installed locally and want to push your existing code to
GitHub,follow
the instructions provided on GitHub after creating your repository. Typically, this involves adding your GitHub repository as a
remote and pushing your changes.
