Creating a remote repository on GitHub
Creating a remote repository is a very simple process; follow these steps:
1. Log in to GitHub.
2. Select Dashboard.
3. Select Create a Repository from the list of items at the left, as shown in Figure 14.20.
4. Type a name.
It's a good idea, for obvious reasons, to use the project name. When you click the Create Repository button,
GitHub adds the repository to your account.
5. Click your account name to see a list of repositories.
NOTE
It would be convenient if you could create a new GitHub repository by duplicating the existing Git repository on
your Mac with a single command. Unfortunately, you can't do this. You must create a new repository on GitHub
first, and then copy files to it manually. The GitHub name must match the name of your local repository.
