Video: Getting set up in GitHub and your first repository
Step-by-step
Most of the Practicum AI exercises will start with you using one of our template repositories to create your own repository. This allows you to get the latest version of our exercises and put a copy in your own space where you can work on the exercises using git and GitHub.
Note:
- You will need a GitHub account for this.
- You can create your account at GitHub.
- Click the Sign up Button.
- The template for this module is at our Computing for AI page in GitHub.
- From that site, click the green Use this template button and select Create a new repository.
- On the new window, you may need to select the owner. Select your GitHub account. Then, type a name for the new repository. We suggest using the same name as the template: computing-for-ai in this case.
- Click the Create repository from template button. This will now create your own copy of the repository. This is your own playground for you to work in. GitHub will show you the template from which you generated the repository so you can always get back to the source, but this is yours to use.
Now, you are ready to set up a Jupyter session using one of the options in Step 2.
