Joining GitHub
First of all you will need to open your web browser of choice then go to github.com and Sign in to your GitHub account.
If you do not already have an account then just click the Sign up option and follow the instructions to create one.
Your personal account is your identity on GitHub.com and has a username and profile, when opening an account you will need to provide your name & email address (You also need to confirm your email address).
Once open you will see your personal dashboard with a really useful "Introduction to GitHub" video and tutorial exercise which you may wish to watch and try before hopping straight into using our website starter template.
GitHub offers a number of account types from free to paid options.
A free GitHub account is fine to allow you to follow along with our tutorials.
However if you are a student you might want to look at the GitHub Student Developer Pack
