Setting up a GitHub repository

Now that we know the basics of GitHub, let's get started creating a GitHub repository for
the project we want to build:

1. First, create a folder for the application in the root folder. Let's name this
   application blog:

$ mkdir blog

2. Create an account on GitHub at https:/​/​github.​com/​.


3. Go to your profile. Under the Repositories tab, click New as follows:


4. Name this repository blog.


5. Now, on the Terminal, go to the location of this application and initialize an
   empty repository with this command:

$ cd blog

$ git init

6. Now, let's create a file called README.md and write a description for the
   application and then save it:

$ echo 'Blog' > README.md

7. Add this file to GitHub:

$ git add README.md
