Solution

  • For me your workflow is OK.

    After the step 6, your project is hosted on http://github.com/yourusername/yourproject.

    Your project will be public if you have a FREE account (otherwise, you can publish it as private and only you and contributors have access).

    Little advice: don't forget to learn the main github line commands to manage and commit your code, it's more practical than the Windows tools...

    Useful PDF which summerizes Github line commands: https://education.github.com/git-cheat-sheet-education.pdf

    CTRL+P and keep it on your desktop for the beginning :)

    Have fun!
