Create a GitHub Account

1 min readClaude Code for DesignersUpdated Feb 18, 2026

GitHub is where your code lives in the cloud — backup, history, and collaboration in one place. If you don't already have an account, this lesson is sixty seconds of clicking. If you do, skip ahead to the next one.

Create a GitHub Account

Why GitHub?

  • Backup: Your code is safe in the cloud, not just on your computer
  • History: You can see every change you made and go back if needed
  • Collaboration: Easy to share with developers and teammates
  • Portfolio: Show your work and design-to-code process

Sign Up

  • Go to github.com
  • Click "Sign up"
  • Create an account with your email (you can use your work or personal email)
  • Verify your email by clicking the link they send you

You're Ready!

GitHub account created. Let's connect your prototype.

GitHub account ready

  • Created a github.com account
  • Verified your email
  • Understood why GitHub matters: backup, history, collaboration, portfolio

An account is just an empty room. Next: creating a repository to store your prototype.
