How to build your own Github (steps)

Nowadays, Github is favored by more and more programmers and developers and has become a common collaboration and code sharing platform. If you haven’t started using Github yet, you might be out of touch with the latest trends in the world of programmers.

But how to build your own Github? Next, let’s introduce how to start using Github and build your own open source library.

1. Create a Github account

First, you need to create a Github account. Open the https://github.com/ page and click the "Sign up" button in the upper right corner.

On the registration page, fill in your username, email, password and other information, and select the skill area you are interested in. Click the "Create an account" button and wait a moment for Github to automatically create an account for you.

2. Create a new warehouse

After logging in to your Github account, you can start creating an open source library of your own.

Click the "New" button in the upper right corner, you can see the interface for creating a new warehouse, fill in the warehouse name, description, and related information.

There is another important option that can be set in this interface. In the Repository visibility option, select Public or Private. Selecting Public means that the open source repository is publicly visible and anyone can access, browse, and clone the repository. Select Private to allow access only to the owner of the repository and invited users.

After creating the warehouse, you can see the link to the Git warehouse through the small green Code button.

3. Set up Git locally

On the client computer, you need to install Git first. If you haven't installed it yet, you can visit https://git-scm.com/downloads to download the version suitable for your operating system and install it.

After the installation is completed, enter the following command in Git Bash to verify whether the installation is successful:

git --version

If the corresponding version number is output, the installation is successful.

Next, enter the following command to set the username and email address as local Git environment variables:

git config --global user.name "your user name here"
git config --global user.email "your email address here"

After the settings are completed, git will know who you are and how to contact you.

4. Push local files to Github repository

Next, you need to push local files to Github repository. First, you need to add the link to the Github repository to your local Git.

Enter the following command in Git Bash to add a link to the Github repository:

git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/your-repository.git

Your Git repository link should be replaced with your own username and the name of the GitHub repository.

After the addition is successful, you can use the following command to push the local files to the Github repository:

git add .

git commit -m "Initial commit"

git push origin master

The above code will first add all files to the local Git and submit them, and then locally Push the commit to the Github repository.

5. Completion

After completing the above steps, you can see the files you uploaded in the Github repository. Github also provides many other functions, such as multi-person collaboration, issue resolution, branch management, and more.

Now, you have your own Github account and successfully created your own open source library. Come and contribute your code with developers!
