In this course, all of your code will be maintained in Git repositories, with remote copies hosted on GitHub. Therefore, it’s essential that you have a GitHub account. This may be a free account; none of the work in the bootcamp will require you to have a paid account.

If you don’t already have a GitHub account, register for one by following the directions at Signing up for a new GitHub account. Please note: As a developer, your GitHub account will become a significant part of your online professional identity; choose your user name accordingly.
