We have a detailed guide on our YouTube channel on How to use GitHub for Social Coding by Devrat Patel as part of our Mobi Byte series.
Go to github.com Click on the "#" button at the top-right corner of the screen and create an account.
Enter your email address.
Create a password.
Enter a username.
Verify your account.
Enter the code that is sent to your email address.
Now that you have a GitHub, you can now visit the GitHub repository for Social Coding
In the top-right corner, click on the Star button! :D
Next, click on the Fork button.
We recommend you choose your own username as the owner.
The repository name can stay as "social-coding".
Copy the main branch only should remain ticked.
Click on the "Create fork" button.
Now you have your own forked social-coding repository. This will act as a copy and a symbolic link between you and us. This is beneficial because unlike the main mobiclub social-coding repository, you will be able to make changes to your own forked social-coding repository. Afterwards, you'll be able to send us your changes in the form of pull requests.
We'll show you how to do that now.
