We've build our beautiful website, we've created a sign-off form.
And it's fully responsive, but.
It's just on our computers, let's actually put this online on the Internet so anybody can access it,
and I'm going to show you one way to do it for free.
It'll take a bit of setup, but this way you'll have a website that is out there and you can showcase
it to your friends.
So to get started, I'm going to suggest that you go to GitHub, Dotcom.
And you're going to create an account, and when we get to the GitHub and get section, we're going
to talk more about this.
But GitHub is a platform for developers to showcase their work, but also put all their code and make
sure that it's saved in a location.
You can think of it as a resume for a.
So any developer that I know has a GitHub account.
So create your own as well as completely free and allow us to put our website online for free.
So sign up now and then I'm going to go back to my GitHub where I'm already signed in.
And right here, once you're signed in, you'll get to this page and you'll say start a project.
So I want you to click on Start a Project.
And here, this is really important, you need to put the name that you have, your username of GitHub
first and then put period GitHub dot io.
So you have to name your repository so you can think of this as project name and then you can click
on Create Repository.
You'll get the screen and look very, very confusing.
Don't worry, we don't need to worry about it.
We're going to have to use this set up in desktop one.
In order to do that, we need to download GitHub desktop client.
So you can easily do that by on a GitHub desktop.
There's for Mac four Windows, whichever one you need.
You can download once that's downloaded, let's open it up.
And you can see here we have GitHub desktop, I'm going to double click to open it, you'll get this
pop up, but you can just open and once you have this, you can click on Clone Repository and you will
have to sign in to GitHub.
So this needs to know what your account is on GitHub, dotcom.
Com.
So I'm just going to click sign in.
And again, this is you can sign in with your own credentials here.
And there you go.
We should be all signed in.
The next step is we're going to click on something called Klown, a repository, so we're going to click
on that and we're going to search for the repository we just created.
So if you remember your username, GitHub Eyo, and because it's signed in to your account, it knows
where to find it.
So from here, I'm going to click.
And it did a whole bunch of magic behind the scenes, don't worry about it for now.
Now you want to open this repository and find her and it's going to open up your folder with your name
on it.
And in there, I just want you to copy and paste the three files that you have, your index, your stylesheet
and your header if you have any other files for your website.
Just keep them all in there.
Just a reminder to take it out of the folder.
There you have it.
I don't want to delete that, I'm going to copy that back, OK, and once you have that, they're close
it.
And now you'll see that you have this three files that you've just added.
All we need to do now is just write a summary of this, so uploading the website and then commit to
M..
You'll need to add a summary in here, otherwise they won't let you click.
You click on that and again, something happens, some magic, but if you click on the history tab,
you'll see that your files are still there.
And the final thing you're going to do is click this publish branch button.
If you click on this.
It's doing a whole bunch of work behind the scenes and it looks like it's done.
Now, here's the cool part.
Let's go back to our website.
And remember this screen?
Well, now, if I refresh.
I have my files in there, so now this location is referencing these files and guess what?
Your websites actually online don't believe me.
Well, let's check out.
All we need to do is go to this link, type it into the bar.
And there you go, we have our website online, so now.
Our beautiful website, our startup page works and people can sign up for our mailing list and check
out our startup.
Isn't that cool?
We're going to be learning more about GitHub and get later on in the course and there's a special section
just for it because it's a very important tool.
But I want you to put your website online so you can show it off to your friends and family and let
them know that you're going to be a pretty good developer.
I'll see you in the next one.
Bye bye.
