Create your own NRTechfolio Repository

Login to GitHub

You will need to login to GitHub or create an account. If you create an account, please remember that your username will be associated with all of your activities. You might want to keep it professional.

Find the NRTechfolio Template Repository

Search for uhm-descartes/NRTechfolio or follow the provided link.

Use the Template

Find the green "Use this template" button in the top left of the screen. Click that button and select "Create a new repository" from the dropdown options.

Create a New Repository

On the "Create a new repository" screen, fill in a name for your new repository in the middle of the page. It is suggested to use "NRTechfolio." Click the green "Create repository" button on the bottom right. Github will then create your new repository using the template and redirect you to the new repository when finished.

Turn on Pages

• Go to Settings/Pages from your GitHub Repository, not the Codespace.
• Find the Branch section
• Choose the 'main' branch.
• Note the pages URL. It should be somegthing like https://awjans.github.io/NRTechfolio/. This is the URL to your published NRTechfolio and the value will be needed when editing the Config YAML file later.

Create a New Codespace

On the "<> Code" tab, find the green "<> Code" button. Click that button and select the "Codespaces" tab. Find and click the "Create codespace on main" button, and Github will create a codespace for you to edit your repository without downloading software to your computer. The codespace will be a website named something like "https://tangerine-parakeet-w47p5rppp725xgx.github.dev/", which you can bookmark for fast access later. The README.md file containing these instructions will be previewed so you can continue to follow along.
