Creating a Git repository through the website is super simple. For the first one, if you are still logged in from yesterday there is a button on the home page you click <create a repository>
If you have to log back in, there is still a button on the home page to click <create a repository>Next you just give it a name, set it to private, and click <create repository>To become familiar with Git commands, the best place to start is the GitHub Hello World guide. I will talk through all of the commands and steps I use, but if you want to know more you should walk through the tutorial. For now, we are going to follow our theme of minimal tooling and just create a new file by clicking <creating a new file>We then give it a name, like index.html and type in our code. For mine, I added<html><body><h1>hello world</h1><br/>from the index page</body><html>
For now, we only have one branch and it is fine. Later, we are going to talk more about branches and how they are useful. For now, we have a file that we need to get into our storage account. Setting it up so that it gets uploaded automatically will be our next task.
