If you’re new to development, one of the most important skills you’ll learn is how to put your project on GitHub. This lets you back up your code, collaborate with others, and showcase your work.

Here’s a quick and easy guide:

• Go to GitHub → Click New Repository.
• Name your repository and choose Public or Private.
