This tutorial shows how to create a web project using GitHub and Replit. This is how you will be expected to create your project for the Web Design Module. We are going to go over this in class as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before you start: it is important to have both a GitHub account and a Replit account. Start with creating the GitHub account and then, when you go to Replit, click to Sign in with GitHub<\/strong>. This will link the two accounts and make the process below work smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Create GitHub Repository<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

GitHub<\/a> is a place where you can save and share coding projects of all kinds. Even through Microsoft runs the site, it is free for public projects and it is the most widely used site for open source projects. Another benefit is that it can be the server to host web sites like what we will make in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A REPOSITORY is basically a fancy word for a folder. It is the general name for a single project on GitHub and where all of your files are stored. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(a) Sign in to GitHub<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(b)Create a New Repository<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use the + sign in the black bar at the top of the page <\/p>\n\n\n\n
