Create AWSome Books Repository
To enable advanced CI/CD pipeline features, you have to set up the AWSome Books repository within a GitHub organization rather than a personal repository under your GitHub username.
The GitHub setup in the workshop does not fully align with GitHub’s best practices. For more details, please refer to the GitHub Docs.
Let’s start by creating the Github organization.
1. Go to your GitHub profile page https://github.com/<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>. Mine is github.com/tulna07, for example.
2. Click the dropdown and select New organization.
3. Choose Create a free organization.
4. Fill out the following information.
- For Organization name, enter
fcj-workshops-2024. - Contact email should be your email address.

In the Verify your account section, play the game (captcha) until you see a green tick.
Scroll down to the bottom.
- Tick I hereby accept the Terms of Service. For more information about GitHub’s privacy practices, see the GitHub Privacy Statement.

5. Click Skip this step.
6. You have successfully created a GitHub organization. Go to your GitHub organization github.com/fcj-workshops-2024.

git remote add origin https://github.com/fcj-workshops-2024/awsome-books.git
