1. Create a Repository

On github.com, log in to your account. You can see the "Create repository" button right on the homepage of GitHub.

Finally, click on "Create Repository".

To delete a Repository, first you need to access its Settings.
Next, scroll down to the bottom of the page so that you see the dangerous functions including:
  • Change repository visibility (from Public to Private orvice versa).
  • Transfer ownership of the repository to someone else.
  • Mark this repository archived and read-only, and it cannot be changed.
  • Delete the repository.
Click on "Delete this repository" button if you want to delete it.
