Backup

Your code only exists on your laptop. One hard drive failure and it is gone.

GitHub gives you a cloud backup and a safety net. Every change saved. Every mistake reversible.

Right now your code lives in one place. If your laptop dies, your project dies with it. And every time you try something new, you are one bad edit away from breaking what already works. This tool walks you through creating a GitHub account, setting up a private repository, creating a personal access token, and making your first push. When you are done, your code is backed up in the cloud and you have a recovery point for every change you ever make.

01

Create a GitHub account and set up a private repository

Your code will live here in the cloud, separate from your laptop.

02

Create a personal access token

This is the password GitHub uses to verify it is really you when you push code from your terminal.

03

Clone the repository to your computer, make a change, and push it back to GitHub

You see your change appear on GitHub in real time.

04

From now on, every time you save your work with three commands, your code is backed up and your history is preserved

What you get

01

A GitHub account and a private repository where your code is stored in the cloud

02

A personal access token saved securely so you can push code from your terminal without re-entering your password every time

03

A verified push pipeline: you make a change, save it, push it, and see it appear on GitHub before you move on
