+    <h1>6.1 GitHub - Account Setup and Configuration</h1>
+  <div><p>
+GitHub is the single largest host for Git repositories, and is the central point of collaboration for millions of developers and projects.
+A large percentage of all Git repositories are hosted on GitHub, and many open-source projects use it for Git hosting, issue tracking, code review, and other things.
+So while it’s not a direct part of the Git open source project, there’s a good chance that you’ll want or need to interact with GitHub at some point while using Git professionally.</p><p>This chapter is about using GitHub effectively.
+We’ll cover signing up for and managing an account, creating and using Git repositories, common workflows to contribute to projects and to accept contributions to yours, GitHub’s programmatic interface and lots of little tips to make your life easier in general.</p><p>If you are not interested in using GitHub to host your own projects or to collaborate with other projects that are hosted on GitHub, you can safely skip to <a href="_personal_avatar.html#ch07-git-tools">Git Tools</a>.</p>
+<h2 id="_account_setup_and_configuration">Account Setup and Configuration</h2>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>
+The first thing you need to do is set up a free user account.
+Simply visit <a href="https://github.com" class="bare">https://github.com</a>, choose a user name that isn’t already taken, provide an email address and a password, and click the big green “Sign up for GitHub” button.</p>

+<p>The next thing you’ll see is the pricing page for upgraded plans, but it’s safe to ignore this for now.

+<p>
+As of right now, you’re fully able to connect with Git repositories using the <code>https://</code> protocol, authenticating with the username and password you just set up.
+However, to simply clone public projects, you don’t even need to sign up - the account we just created comes into play when we fork projects and push to our forks a bit later.</p>

+<div class="paragraph">

+<p>The way that GitHub maps your Git commits to your user is by email address.

+The top address is verified and set as the primary address, meaning that is where you’ll get any notifications and receipts.
+The second address is verified and so can be set as the primary if you wish to switch them.
+The final address is unverified, meaning that you can’t make it your primary address.
+If GitHub sees any of these in commit messages in any repository on the site, it will be linked to your user now.</p>

+<div class="sect3">
+<h3 id="_two_factor_authentication">Two Factor Authentication</h3>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>Finally, for extra security, you should definitely set up Two-factor Authentication or “2FA”.
+Two-factor Authentication is an authentication mechanism that is becoming more and more popular recently to mitigate the risk of your account being compromised if your password is stolen somehow.
+Turning it on will make GitHub ask you for two different methods of authentication, so that if one of them is compromised, an attacker will not be able to access your account.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>You can find the Two-factor Authentication setup under the Security tab of your Account settings.</p>

+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>If you click on the “Set up two-factor authentication” button, it will take you to a configuration page where you can choose to use a phone app to generate your secondary code (a “time based one-time password”), or you can have GitHub send you a code via SMS each time you need to log in.</p>
+</div>
+<div class="paragraph">
+<p>After you choose which method you prefer and follow the instructions for setting up 2FA, your account will then be a little more secure and you will have to provide a code in addition to your password whenever you log into GitHub.</p>
