Store prototype code on GitHub

Store your prototype as a repository in the GitHub NHS Digital organisation account.

1. Request access to the GitHub NHS Digital organisation. Follow the GitHub users guidance on SharePoint (use your nhs.net email to access this link).
2. Once you have access, go to the GitHub NHS Digital organisation and use your hscic.gov.uk email to log in.
3. Select New to create a repository.
4. Name your prototype to avoid confusion with production services. Use the format nhsapp-prototype-[project-name], such as nhsapp-prototype-prescriptions.
5. Select Internal and Create repository.
6. Upload your prototype to GitHub. You can follow the NHS prototype kit guidance on how to store code online with GitHub and GitHub Desktop.
