Create a .NET project

If you don't have a .NET project to work with, create a new one on your local system. Start by installing the latest .NET 8.0 SDK .

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Create a project directory and navigate to it.

3. Create a new .NET 8 webapp.

   dotnet new webapp -f net8.0
   

4. From the same terminal session, run the application locally using the dotnet run command from your project directory.

   dotnet run
   

5. Once the application has started, press Ctrl-C to shut it down.

Create a git repo and connect it to GitHub

1. From the project directory, create a local git repository and commit the application code to the main branch.

2. Connect your local Git repo to a GitHub repo.
