It's a good idea to create a new repository for each individual project you're working on. If you're writing a software project, grouping all the related files in a new repository makes it easier to maintain and manage the codebase over time.
- In the upper-right corner of any page, select , then click New repository.
- In the "Repository name" box, type a name for your project. For example, type "my-first-project."
- In the "Description" box, type a short description. For example, type "This is my first project on GitHub."
- Select whether your repository will be Public or Private. Select "Public" if you want others to be able to see your project.
- Select Add a README file. You will edit this file in a later step.
- Click Create repository.
