Project Management

1. Create a Repository

Create Your First GitHub Repository (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Repository name ✨

  • Click and type your project name
  • Recommended format: lowercase + hyphens
    Examples: my-first-website
  • No spaces, no Chinese characters, no uppercase start

Write one sentence to tell others what this project is

Step 3: Public or Private?

  • Public → Anyone on the internet can see it
    → Easier for teachers/classmates to help
    → Perfect portfolio link for job applications
  • Private → Only you and invited people can see

Step 4: Initialize this repository
