5. (WORK IN PROGRESS) Host the example website on GitHub

5.1. Create a GitHub profile

Create a GitHub profile. You may want to ensure that the email address you used to set up your account stays private. To do this, go to the Emails section of your profile settings. Configure it as you see below. Copy/paste the 0000000+userName@users.noreply.github.com address somewhere, as you will use it later when configuring Git.

![profile email options]

If you already have a GitHub profile, use that for now. Eventually, you may want to migrate your portfolio repository to its own, separate GitHub account, but that can be done easily later on.

Set up Raspberry Pi

Set up SSH with VSCode

Connect to WiFi. In bash, run sudo apt update, then sudo apt full-upgrade. Next, run mousepad /etc/dhcpcd.conf or similar to view the networking configuration file. Find the lines that look similar to below, uncomment them, and input proper addresses. Use eth0 to set a static IP for wired connection, and wlan0 for wireless.

# Example static IP configuration:
interface wlan0
static ip_address=192.168.X.XX/24

Had to pip uninstall typing in order to get past AttributeError: type object 'Callable' has no attribute '_abc_registry'. See https://community.home-assistant.io/t/upgrade-error-cryptography-module/194496.

Something else strange:
