Signing Up for GitHub

The first step in getting yourself set up with a comic_git solution of your own is creating your own account in GitHub. If you already have an account, you may log into it and move on to Creating your own Repository.

  1. Go to https://github.com.

  2. Enter your email address on the front page. Alternately, click Sign Up to proceed to the main sign-up page.

  3. Follow GitHub's sign-up procedure.

    GitHub's sign-up page. Numbered markers are pointing to 1. Email Address, 2. Password, 3. Username.
    GitHub's signup page.

Keep in mind your username will be displayed in the URL of your webcomic. For example, if you chose the username comicgitdemo, your URL would start with http://comicgitdemo.github.io/

At some point after signing up, GitHub will send you a verification email. Make sure to verify your email address before you get to the Uploading Your Comic section.

Due to security restrictions in GitHub, if you do not verify your email address, comic_git will not be able to generate your website.
