Tutorial – deploying an application's code to GitHub

Over the last two tutorials, we deployed our applications to cloud platforms in order to allow users to interact with our models using the Flask framework. In the first platform, we used AWS Lightsail, and in the second, we used GCP's App Engine. In this tutorial, our objective will be to deploy our code, not with the intent of making the models available to users but to showcase our code and hard work to other data scientists, as well as potential future employers. We will do so by deploying our code using GitHub.

All of the coding examples and tutorials throughout this book have been made available online using GitHub. If you have not done so already, I highly encourage you to create your own account. You can think of GitHub as LinkedIn for coders—a space to showcase your hard work to others.

You can create a free GitHub account by navigating to their main website (https://github.com/) and registering...
