Hi! I'm new to GitHub and just signed in from my phone. I’m confused about how to create a project (repository) from mobile. Can someone guide me?

Hey there! 👋

Thanks for posting in the GitHub Community, @sakshi04dev ! We're happy you're here. You are more likely to get a useful response if you are posting in the applicable category. The Accessibility category is a place for our community to discuss and provide feedback on the digital accessibility of GitHub products. Digital accessibility means that GitHub tools, and technologies, are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them.

I've gone ahead and moved this to the correct category for you, Mobile. Good luck!

The app is more focused on managing code, not creating new repositories, so you'll be redirected to the browser for this step.

Open the GitHub app and sign in.

Tap your profile icon (bottom right).

Tap the browser icon (top right) to open GitHub in the browser.

Go to github.com and sign in.

Tap the “+” icon at the top right corner.

Select “New repository”.

Fill in the details:

Repository name (e.g: my-first-project)

Description (optional)

Choose Public or Private

Optionally, check “Initialize this repository with a README”.

Tap “Create repository” at the bottom.

Hello Team,

Thank you for the detailed instructions.

I have reviewed the steps for creating a new repository via the GitHub browser and will proceed accordingly. I understand that the app is mainly for managing existing code and that new repositories need to be created through the browser.

I will follow the given process and update you once the repository is successfully created.

Thanks again for your guidance.

Best regards,
Rocky

Hi! Welcome to GitHub 👋

Creating a new repository directly from the GitHub mobile app is currently limited. The easiest workaround is to open GitHub in your mobile browser (Chrome/Safari), enable desktop site, then click the “+” menu and select New repository.

Another option is to create the repository on a computer and then manage it from your phone afterward.

Hope this helps—feel free to ask if you need more guidance!
