  1. Go to https://github.com/join in a web browser.

You can use any web browser on your computer, phone, or tablet to join. Before you can create branches or make any pull requests, you’ll need an account. ◦ Some ad blockers, including uBlock Origin, prevent GitHub's verification CAPTCHA puzzle from appearing. For best results, disable your web browser's ad blocker when signing up for GitHub.

  1. Click Verify to start the verification puzzle.

The instructions vary by puzzle, so just follow the on-screen instructions to confirm that you are a human. A green checkmark will appear after completing the puzzle. ◦ You can switch to an audio challenge by pressing the speaker button under the Verify button. ◦ If you see an error that says "Unable to verify your captcha response," it's because your web browser's ad blocking extension prevented the CAPTCHA puzzle from appearing. Disable all ad-blocking extensions, refresh the page, and then click VERIFY to start the CAPTCHA.
