7. Go to your GitHub account and in the Repositories tab you should see a newly created repository with your p5 sketch.
8. Now go to your repository on GitHub and go to the settings tab and scroll down to the GitHub Pages section, click on it. Provide the source branch that the GitHub Pages will get the code from, in our case it is main. Save.
9. Wait and see the result! You should see the pop-up in the Settings tab that your website is ready with the url <your_username>.github.io/<your_repo_name>

Method 2: How to host your sketch on GitHub via terminal

   7. Generate the SSH key on your computer and add it to your GitHub account:
      1. Open the terminal and do ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C ["[email protected]](mailto:%[email protected])"
      2. When you're prompted to "Enter a file in which to save the key," press Enter. This accepts the default file location.
      3. At the prompt, type a secure passphrase. — it should be an easy to remember word

4. cd to your p5 sketch. cd Downloads/<your_project_folder>

5. Initialize the git inside your project. git init

6. Go to GitHub and create a repository.

7. Git add remote origin to your local directory. In your repository on Github copy the https link in Code → Clone → HTTPS and then run the following command in the terminal: git remote add origin[<https://github.com/><your_username>/<your_github_repo>.git](<https://github.com/bradtraversy/vue-crash-2021.git>)

8. Git add, commit and then pushhhh:

   1. git add .
   2. git commit -m "Push the code for the GitHub pages"
   3. git push origin master
