About your personal account on GitHub
To get started with GitHub.com, you need to a personal account and a verified email address.
When creating a free account on GitHub.com, you can also authenticate with Google or Apple - which are the supported social login providers. For iOS users, even if you have enabled the setting "Hide My Email addresses" for your Apple account, using social login will result in creating a new GitHub account.
每个使用 GitHub 的人都登录用户帐户。 你的用户帐户是你在 GitHub 上的身份，并具有用户名和个人资料。 例如，查看 @octocat 的个人资料。
Later, you can explore the different types of accounts that GitHub offers, and decide if you need a billing plan. For more information, see GitHub 帐户的类型 and GitHub的计划.
注意
The steps in this article don't apply to Enterprise Managed Users and users on GitHub Enterprise Server. If your GitHub account has been created by your company, you can skip this article. For information on how to create an account, contact your site administrator.
Signing up for a new personal account
- Navigate to https://github.com/signup.
- Alternatively, click on Continue with Google to sign up using social login.
- Follow the prompts to create your personal account.
During sign up, you'll be asked to verify your email address. Without a verified email address, you won't be able to complete some basic GitHub tasks, such as creating a repository.
Some enterprises create 托管用户帐户 for their users. You can't sign up for a personal account with an email address that's already verified for a 托管用户帐户.
Next steps
We strongly recommend that you configure 2FA for your account. 2FA is an extra layer of security that can help keep your account secure. For more information, see 配置双重身份验证.
