Intro

Today, we learn how to make a website to showcase everything we have done.

Your website address will be username.github.io.

For this reason, you might want to give a bit of thought to what makes the most sense for a username.

It will be difficult to change the user name and how the website will look, once you have set it up.

Benefits of Having a Website

Having of website is beneficial:

  • it demonstrates your tech saviness: you are comfortable with the digital space and with technology
  • you can include your CV and people can see it much quicker
  • you can show your portfolio (i.e. your project for this course for now)
  • you can show your creative side by using different themes and fonts

We now can create a Github account.

Github is a developer platform that allows developers to create, store, manage and share their code.

With Github, it easy to share code with the world.

It is also easy to have your Quarto website stored
