Register an existing account by signing in to GitHub
If you do not want to specify your credentials each time you sync with a remote, or push your commits, you can configure PhpStorm to save your account information (see Configure a password policy).
To be able to retrieve data from a repository hosted on GitHub, or share your projects, you need to register your GitHub account in PhpStorm. PhpStorm lets you manage Git projects hosted on GitHub directly from the IDE: clone repositories, share your projects, create forks, share code through gists, create pull requests and review incoming pull requests.
