Go to the GitHub website and create one. It’s free, and it’ll only take a few minutes. You don’t need two-factor authentication, but feel free to add it to your account— it’ll ensure that your repository is the most protected that it can be from hackers.

Once you have an account, you’ll need to download GitHub Desktop. Install it, then open it.

You’ll end up with a screen that looks something like this.
