As we described earlier, repositories are a place to manage and share your project code. Git allows you to create public or private repositories. Public repositories are open for everybody, but you can include a license file that explains how you want the project to be shared with others.

- Open a web browser, go to https://github.com/, and sign up for a new account by providing a username for your account and your email and password. You can skip this step if you already have an account on GitHub:
