OS Week 00 Assignment #1: GitHub Account
This is neither programming nor a web course. However, assignments will be submitted to GitHub and displayed on GitHub Page.
SIGN UP (or SIGN IN)
- SIGN UP if you have no GitHub.com account.
More details at https://doit.vlsm.org/029.html
- Preferably, use all lowercase characters for your GitHub account.
- GitHub accounts are not case-sensitive. Unfortunately, Linux accounts are!
- See also cbkadal at https://github.com/cbkadal/os232/.
- But always REMEMBER, you are not “cbkadal”! Always replace “cbkadal” with your own GitHub account.
- Else, SIGN IN at GitHub.com.

Default Branch: main or master ?
- More details at https://doit.vlsm.org/030.html#idx07
- The current GitHub DEFAULT Branch is “main.”
- In the past, the default branch was “master.”
- To be “politically correct,” GitHub has changed the default branch name from ”master” to ”main.”
- Many past examples here have been using the “master” branch name.
- Therefore – to be consistent – the “master” branch name will continue to be used.
- Feel free to use either “main” or “master.” However, it would help if you did not alter your branch name once it has been chosen.
- To change the default branch name, click “settings.”
