# Creating Github Website

In previous post we had small discussion about creating [Github account](https://technorulerin.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/creating-github-account/). In this post we can take a look how to create a small Github Website which is available for Free.

First know your Profile name. After you login in, you can see your avatar at the right top corner. Click that drop down box, in that you will be seeing an option call Your Profile, for me it is [https://github.com/viswaprasath](https://github.com/viswaprasath) , so my profile Name is [viswaprasath](https://github.com/viswaprasath)

Next Step is to create a repo. We can do it very easily, for simply beginner level understanding repo is like a folder which will contain all the project files.

*   After visiting your profile click on the repositories tab.
*   Then Click on New Button to Create a new repo.
*   Or simply click [here](https://github.com/new)

So we have to give the repo name. Our target for the day is to create a small website for us. So now we have to create a repo in our name in the following format. username.github.io so I will be creating as viswaprasath.github.io

Then you have to give description about the repo. It will be very useful when you take it in future for Reference.

Then you can check “Initialize this repository with a README” so we can automatically create the ReadME file. If you are ware of the licensing type mention that also. You can learn more about licensing [here](http://choosealicense.com/). So as of Now we have created the simple repo for us.
