3. Creating a New GitHub Repo

Now that you have Git installed locally, let's move forward by creating a new GitHub repository for your PharmaSift project. Follow these steps to set up your remote repository on GitHub:

Step 1: Log in to Your GitHub Account

  • Open your web browser and navigate to GitHub.

  • Sign in with your GitHub credentials.

Step 2: Create a New Repository

  • Once logged in, click on the "+" icon in the top right corner of the GitHub homepage.

  • From the dropdown, select "New repository."

Step 3: Fill in Repository Details

  • Provide a name for your repository. In this case, you can name it "PharmaSift" or a name of your choice.

  • Optionally, add a description to provide a brief overview of your project.

  • Choose between making the repository public or private, depending on your preference.

Step 4: Initialize this Repository with a README

  • To make things easier, select the option to "Initialize this repository with a README." This will create an initial README file in your repository.

Step 5: Add a .gitignore File (Optional)

  • If your project involves specific files or directories that should be excluded from version control (e.g., temporary files, build artifacts), you can add a .gitignore file. GitHub provides templates for various programming languages and frameworks.

Step 6: Choose a License (Optional)

  • You can choose to add an open-source license to your repository. GitHub provides various licenses that determine how others can use your code.

Step 7: Create Repository

  • Click the "Create repository" button to finalize the process.

Step 8: Copy the Repository URL

  • After creating the repository, you'll be redirected to its main page.

  • Copy the repository URL from the "Code" button dropdown. It should look like https://github.com/your-username/pharmasift.git.

Next Steps:

With your GitHub repository set up, you now have a remote location for your PharmaSift project. In the upcoming chapters, we'll connect this remote repository to your local Git repository and start pushing changes from your local machine to GitHub.
