Repository Step 5: Get It Online

Create a repository on GitHub for your project, connect your local repository to it with git remote add origin, and push. Then write a real README with a one sentence description, a screenshot of your project, instructions for running it locally, a short note on how you built it, and an honest list of what is not finished. Commit and push that too. If your project is a static site, turn on GitHub Pages in the repository settings and get a live URL. When you can send someone a single link that shows both the running project and the code behind it, you have built portfolio infrastructure rather than a folder.
