Personal GitHub Portfolio
This assignment will guide you in creating your first personal GitHub portfolio. You'll get hands-on experience using GitHub, working with repositories, and using Git to push your code.
Structured Exercises:
-
Create a GitHub Account
If you don't already have one, Create a GitHub account. This will be your platform for hosting your code and sharing your work with the world. -
Build a Repository
Once you have your GitHub account:-
Create a new repository (name it something like
personal-portfolio
). -
Add a
README.md
file. This file should introduce yourself, your background, and your goals for the bootcamp. Make it personal, fun, and professional! -
Create a Python script (something simple, like "Hello World" or a calculator). This will help you get familiar with how code is stored in repositories.
-
-
Use Git to Push Your Code
You can push your code either through Git commands or using the VS Code Git extensions. Here's a quick guide on pushing code to GitHub:- Clone your repository to your local machine using the command:
git clone <repository-link>
-
Add your files (e.g., your
README.md
and Python script) to your repository. -
Use the following commands to commit and push the code:
- Clone your repository to your local machine using the command:
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push origin main
-
Build a Personal GitHub Portfolio
After your repository is ready with yourREADME.md
and script, set up a personal GitHub portfolio:-
You can use GitHub Pages to serve your portfolio site.
-
Follow this GitHub Pages guide to set up and deploy your portfolio.

This assignment will help you get comfortable with GitHub and build a strong foundation for your coding journey. Good luck!
