Create To-Do Application Repository

The first thing that we will want to do as we think about building a new project is to spin up a new GitHub repository for that project.

1. Login to your GitHub Account

Make sure that you are on the GitHub home page (i.e., https://github.com) and logged in via the account that you created in the last step.

2. Create New Repo

1. From the left pane of the homepage, select the New button to create a new repository

2. Fill out all of the information for the new repository:

1. Choose an owner - Select the GitHub alias that you just created in the previous step
2. Repository name - You can use any name you would like to represent the project, in this case I chose the name MyToDoApp
3. Public/Private - This option determines whether or not this repo is by default publically available to everyone. For this exercise we will start by having this repo be Private.
4. Add a README file - This creates a readme.md in the root of the project. We have selected to include this
5. Add .gitignore - Please select Python as the template to use for this file.
6. Choose a License - Please select MIT License as this is the default license that is being used for the Everyone Can Code event.
7. After setting all of these values, please select the Create respository button. This will create a new repository and should look something like this:
