Pre Condition 1: GitHub Account

If you do not yet have a GitHub account, please create one.

Proposals for account names:

• Login similar to your university account. Example: koppor
• Use your last name prefixed by the first letter of your first name. Example: okopp
• Use firstname.lastname. Example: oliver.kopp

You can hide your email address by following the recommendations at https://saraford.net/2017/02/19/how-to-hide-your-email-address-in-your-git-commits-but-still-get-contributions-to-show-up-on-your-github-profile-050/.

Most developers, though, do not hide their email address. They use one which may get public. Mostly, they create a new email account for development only. That account then be used for development mailing lists, mail exchange with other developers, etc.

Examples:

• Same login as in GitHub (see above). Example: koppor@gmail.com
• “it” in the name. Example: kopp.it@gmail.com
• Use the university login. Example: st342435@stud.uni-stuttgart.de
