New to GitHub..!!

[frk786]

Hello Members;

I recently earned a GitHub foundations certification. And want to do some hands-on to on my GitHub account.

I'm curious to know where should I start my journey on GitHub, because I have little bit understanding of a programming language JavaScript.

How do I start making projects on GitHub. What is your recommendation ?

Maybe start with a Readme about yourself? It is a special repository which has the same name as your GitHub account (so in your case, your repository will be called frk786)

Here are some guides:
https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-github-profile/customizing-your-profile/managing-your-profile-readme

Here are some examples:

I'm having an error creating a Readme.md file. Says repository already exists on this account.

It looks like the repository already exists in your account. You can access it by going to https://github.com/frk786/frk786. From there, you can create a README.md file.

Welcome to GitHub!! ❤️

Visit the repository:

https://github.com/frk786/frk786

Click on 'Add file' -> 'Create New File'

Name the file README.md (without the quotes)

Type the text you would like and save

(If this is correct, please mark this issue as solved).
