Section B.2 Creating a New Repository on GitHub
Find a plus-sign button in the upper-right hand corner of a GitHub page, or maybe as a new user you see a big button for creating a new repository. This will take you to a set-up screen. You will give your repository a name. For books, we like initialisms (lower-case), so the book you are reading has the repository name
gfa. Alice uses banking-paper in our first exercise. Like your username and commit messages, give this name some thought.Fill in a human-readable description if you wish, and go ahead and tick the box for a README, which we will discuss elsewhere (Section 8.10). No need to mess with
.gitignore now, and adding a license is your choice. You’ll be taken to the main screen for your new repository and you will see much of the information you just provided.
