General domain of usage  
Version control / source code management

After creating a GitHub account, let's create our first **public remote repository** by following the instructions in the video below.

If you have just signed up, then you will already be prompted to log in. Otherwise, you should visit <a href="https://github.com/" target="_blank"><svg width="1em" height="1em" viewBox="0 0 30 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill="none" stroke="#098f67" style="stroke: var(--color1, #098f67)" stroke-linejoin="miter" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-miterlimit="4" stroke-width="2.4156" d="M17.289 17.305v0c-1.754 1.754-4.597 1.754-6.351 0l-7.76-7.759c-1.755-1.755-1.755-4.601 0-6.356v0c1.753-1.753 4.595-1.756 6.351-0.005l6.208 6.187"></path><path fill="none" stroke="#098f67" style="stroke: var(--color1, #098f67)" stroke-linejoin="miter" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-miterlimit="4" stroke-width="2.4156" d="M12.504 13.97v0c1.754-1.754 4.597-1.754 6.351 0l7.762 7.762c1.754 1.754 1.754 4.597 0 6.351v0c-1.754 1.754-4.597 1.754-6.351 0l-5.953-5.953"></path></svg> github.com</a>.

Note

When naming Git repositories, aim for clarity and simplicity. Use descriptive, **lowercase** names, replacing spaces with **hyphens** for better readability and URL compatibility, such as `schedule-bot`. Avoid special characters other than hyphens to prevent issues in scripts and URLs.
