GitHub Account
Required
If you don’t have one already, sign up for a free GitHub account.
As your GitHub account is part of your professional profile, choose your GitHub username carefully (ideally it should reflect your real name). If it doesn’t, we strongly suggest changing it.
Consider adding a professional profile picture.
(Using your personal GitHub account is OK. You’ll be contributing to open-source projects, and this becomes part of your professional profile — which should help when looking for a job after graduation.)
