Creating a Repository

Consult the GitHub documentation for the most up-to-date information on how to create a repository.

Naming your repository

  • Use a descriptive name that reflects the purpose of the repository.
  • Use lowercase letters for the repository name.
  • Use dashes to separate words in the repository name.
  • Avoid using spaces in the repository name.
  • Avoid using special characters in the repository name.
  • Avoid using uppercase letters in the repository name.
  • Prefix your team's repositories with an abbreviation of your team's name.
    • For example, if your team's name is "Cloud Genesis", you could use "cg" as the abbreviation (i.e., cg-project-name).
