LESSON 13

Project: Publish a Project on GitHub

Learning objective: Publish a real project to GitHub as a portfolio piece.

Understand

Turn one of your builds into a public portfolio project.

Take a project you built earlier (like your landing page), put it under Git, write a clear README, commit your work, and push it to a public GitHub repo. A good README explains what the project is and how to run it.

Analogy: This is like framing your work and hanging it in a gallery employers can visit.

See It in Action

A minimal README to add:

# My Landing Page
A responsive landing page built with HTML and CSS.

## Run
Open index.html in a browser.
How it works: A README written in Markdown greets visitors and tells them what the project does and how to use it.

Try It Yourself

  1. Put an existing project under Git.
  2. Add a clear README.
  3. Commit and push it to a public GitHub repo.
