Creating digital accounts
During fabcademy you will be evaluated through your documentation which explains the world and the remote mentor or Neil what you have done. There will be times when your projects will be recommended by your remote mentor to higher faculty or Neil. They will see your website or the files you created. For these reason you need to learn to effectively express your work in a document. They should be online and freely available to anyone, they are opensource. And hopefully it can help someone in need. You will be required to equip yourself with tools that let your projects be useful to others. These tools are online storage and your website.

The following accounts were created
- Fablabs.io account
- git.fabcloud.io account
- Github account

- Sketchfab.com accountMost important of these is the github account. This will be used for creating your webpage where your documention will occur. Through github I will be uplading my updates on documentations. It is necessary that you know html to create your website. Once you have made changes in a local folder you can commit these changes to github whenever you like. I created my github account and followed the below steps to create my website.
In ubuntu:
Terminal
#installing git
sudo apt-get install git # configuring git. These are the information you give while uploading an update.

My username is puneethrj.
https://github.com/puneethrj
The github.io webpage can be created by the following the instructions in the link.
https://pages.github.com/

cd username.github.io
echo "Hello World" > index.html #creates a file called index.html with
#"Hello World" text in it.
Now Add, commit, and push your changes:
git add --all #add all files and folders to be uploaded
git commit -m "Initial commit"

You will be shown the kind of edition that you are going to upload such as number of deletion and additions etc.

You can upload your cad and other design files in github but it is not that userfriendly when considered as a files storage and access site. So dropbox account is also required to be created. You will be sharing the file created using links provided by the dropbox.
