#1GitHub Repos
Hold on, so what's the difference between Git and GitHub again?
Git is the tool that allows software engineers to track changes, while GitHub is the website that hosts Git repositories. Simply put, GitHub was built on top of Git, so we cannot use GitHub without Git.
Code is stored in repositories or repos on GitHub, which are like folders for your files and assets (e.g. images, videos, audios, fonts).
This is what a GitHub profile looks like - each account has dozens of public repositories.
#2Creating Your Repository
We'll start your version control journey by creating your first GitHub repository!
First, sign up for a GitHub account if you don't have one already at https://github.com
Look for the "New" button anywhere on your GitHub dashboard or profile.
#3Repository Setup
Once you've clicked "New", you'll be directed to the Create a new repository page.
Here, name your repo with anything you'd like (i.e., first-repo)! For now, we'll keep the repo public and not include a README file.
Click "Create Repository" and you'll see a page that includes next-step instructions!
#4Repository URL Format
Great! You've created a repository on GitHub!
The link of your repo will follow this format: https://github.com/[username]/[repo-name].git
Where: - [username] is your GitHub username - [repo-name] is the repository name
For example: https://github.com/s8rr/first-repo.git
The new repo is empty right now! Let's see how we can change that in the next exercise.
