Setting Up Your GitHub Account

Required for secure code handoff and transfer of ownership.

To securely transfer ownership of your application’s source code, I need you to have a GitHub account. GitHub is an industry-standard platform used to store and manage software code.

This ensures:

  • You fully own your code
  • You control who has access
  • The code is safely archived and transferable in the future

Step 1: Create a GitHub Account

  1. 1. Go to: https://github.com
  2. 2. Click Sign up
  3. 3. Create an account using an email address you control
  4. 4. Choose a username (this will be visible to collaborators)

You do not need a paid plan.

Step 2: Send Me Your GitHub Details

Once your account is created, please send me one of the following:

  • Your GitHub username (preferred), or
  • The email address associated with your GitHub account

This allows me to grant you owner-level access to your code repository.

What Happens Next

  • I will transfer your code into a private GitHub repository
  • You will be granted full ownership access
  • You can add or remove collaborators at any time

No technical knowledge is required to use GitHub at this stage — this is simply the secure way to hand over your code.

If you have any trouble creating your account, just let me know and I’ll walk you through it.
