Making your own repository

Create your first repository

Follow the steps below to create your own repository in the Github Classroom that we use to organize all group work in this course.

1. If you are the creator of the repository:

1. Go to GitHub.com and sign in

2. Follow this invitation link to create a group repo in class 2022

3. Create a new team - see bottom of page. Provide the name you want for the team - this will be your permanent group name.

4. Click Create team and wait a moment or two.

5. Now your team's repo has been created following a template design that everyone should use. And you are the only member so far.

2. If a group member has already created your team/repository:

1. Go to GitHub.com and sign in

2. Follow this invitation link to see all teams in the current class.

3. Find your specific group.

4. Click join group.

5. You are now a group member. (Note: each group can at most have 3 members)

3. You can also invite members to you team:

1. Go to your repository page

2. Go to Settings

3. Choose Manage access in the left pane

4. Click the green button Invite teams or people

5. Search for your team members by their Github id.

Note: using the template will ensure that you have a .gitignore file and that you are under the MIT open access license.
