Task: Create a GitHub-account

During this course, we will use GitHub as the place for distributing scripts and documenting our work. For example, the source code of these pages can be found from here.

Both Git and GitHub provide many more features than the ones mentioned here, and we encourage you to start using them for version control, documenting your personal work and collaborating with others.
