Okay… Let’s start… this is very simple so there’s no need for a video tutorial.


GitHub is a web-based Git repository hosting service. It offers all of the distributed version control and source code management (SCM) functionality of Git as well as adding its own features. It provides access control and several collaboration features such as bug tracking, feature requests, task management, and wikis for every project.

2.- Enter a username, valid email address, and password.

3.- Review the GitHub Terms of Service and Privacy Policy before continuing.

4.- Click the “Create an account” button to complete the process.
