When you make any change to any file in your project, you’re making a commit. If you fix a typo, update a filename, or edit your code, you can add it to GitHub as a commit. Your commits represent your project’s entire history—and they’re all saved in your project’s repository.

With each commit, you have the opportunity to write a commit message, a short, meaningful comment describing the change you’re making to a file. So you always know exactly what changed, no matter when you return to a commit.

Want to edit the site you just published? Let’s practice commits by introducing yourself in your index.html file. Don’t worry about getting it right the first time—you can always build on your introduction later.

Let’s start with this template:

<p>Hello World! I’m [username]. This is my website!</p>

To add your introduction, copy our template and click the edit pencil icon at the top right hand corner of the index.html file.

Delete this placeholder line:

<p>Welcome to your first GitHub Pages website!</p>

Then, paste the template to line 15 and fill in the blanks.

When you’re done, scroll down to the Commit changes section near the bottom of the edit page. Add a short message explaining your change, like "Add my introduction", then click Commit changes.

Once you click Commit changes, your changes will automatically be published on your GitHub Pages website. Refresh the page to see your new changes live in action.

🎉 You just made your first commit! 🎉

Change the placeholder Octocat gif on your GitHub Pages website by creating your own personal Octocat emoji or choose a different Octocat gif from our logo library here. Add that image to line 12 of your index.html file, in place of the <img src= link.

Getting started is the hardest part. If there’s anything you’d like to know as you get started with GitHub, try searching GitHub Help. Our documentation has tutorials on everything from changing your repository settings to configuring GitHub from your command line.
