Sign in at github.com. If you do not have an account yet, create one at github.com/signup.

Tip
On a mobile device or using GitHub Copilot (CCA/Agents tab) with no access to a terminal? Choose the GitHub UI path — no installation or terminal is required. You will create your repository on github.com and author workflows directly from the Copilot or Agents tab in your browser.
Open github.com/settings/copilot and confirm both show:
- Copilot CLI is enabled
- Some Models are available
Claude, Codex, or Gemini? Confirm your API key.
