+# Quickstart
+
+#### Create and manage your first repository quickly.
+
+> 📒 **Note**  
+> You can create repositories in your personal account or any organization where you have the required permissions.
+
+## Overview
+
+In this quickstart, you create a repository, edit a file, and clone the repository to your computer. This helps you begin collaborating or versioning your code immediately.
+
+Repositories are project containers on GitHub. They store source code, configuration, and related files.
+
+## Before you start
+
+Before you begin, make sure you have:
+
+- A GitHub personal or organization [account](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/types-of-github-accounts)
+- [Git command line tool](https://git-scm.com/)
+
+## Create a repository
+
+1. In the upper-right corner of any GitHub page, click **+** and choose **New repository**.  
+    ![An image showing the new repository option](./quickstart-example/create-a-repository-step-1.png)
+2. Enter a repository name.  
+3. Optionally, add a description.  
+4. For **Choose visibility**, select **Public** or **Private**.
+5. Click the toggle to include add a README.
+6. Click **Create repository**.   
+
+## Commit a change to the README
+
+A [commit](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/github-glossary#commit) is like a snapshot of all the files in your project at a particular point in time. Committing a change means to save your changes to the repository.
+
+### Edit the README
+
+1. In the upper-right corner of any GitHub page, click your profile picture, and then click **Your repositories**.
+2. Click your repository name.
+3. In your repository's list of files, select `README.md`.
+    ![An image showing the README.md file in the file list](./quickstart-example/edit-the-readme-step-3.png)
+4. In the upper right corner of the file view, click ![Edit icon](./quickstart-example/edit-icon.png) to open the file editor.
+5. In the text box, type some information about your project.
+6. Above the new content, click **Preview**.
+7. Review the changes you made to the file. If you select **Show diff**, you will see the new content in green.
+
+### Commit the change
+
+1. Click **Commit changes...**
+2. In the **Commit message** field, type a short, meaningful commit message that describes the change you made to the file.
+3. Select **Commit directly to the main branch**.
+4. Click **Commit changes**.
+
+## Clone the repository locally
+
+Cloning a repository from GitHub.com to your local computer makes it easier to fix merge conflicts, add or remove files, and push larger commits.
+
+### Copy the URL
+
+1. In the upper-right corner of any GitHub page, click your profile picture, and then click **Your repositories**.
+2. Click your repository name.
+3. Above the list of files, click **<> Code**.
+4. Under **HTTPS**, click ![Copy icon](./quickstart-example/copy-icon.png).
+
+### Clone the repository
+
+1. Open a terminal on your computer.
+2. Run `cd /path/to/your/directory` to change the current working directory to the location where you want the cloned directory.
+3. Type `git clone`, and then paste the URL you copied earlier.
+
+    ```shell
+    git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY
+    ```
+
+4. Press **Enter** to create your local clone.
+
+    ```text
+    $ git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY
+    Cloning into 'Spoon-Knife'...
+    remote: Counting objects: 10, done.
+    remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done.
+    remote: Total 10 (delta 1), reused 10 (delta 1)
+    Unpacking objects: 100% (10/10), done.
+    ```

+
+## Title guidelines <!-- group: QST-PAGE-TITLE -->
+
+- Use a Markdown H1 heading. <!-- QST-PAGE-TITLE-001 -->
+- For the title, use the word "Quickstart for" + the name of the project or feature. Do not add other text. For example, "Quickstart for Logos Storage". <!-- QST-PAGE-TITLE-002 -->
+
+## Subtitle guidelines <!-- group: QST-PAGE-SUBTITLE -->
+
+- Single sentence with no links, list items, or formatting. Ends with a period. <!-- QST-PAGE-SUBTITLE-001 -->
+- Use bold format. Stay under 120 characters. <!-- QST-PAGE-SUBTITLE-002 -->
+- Use imperative verbs to describe the topic's purpose or benefit: *Explore*, *Get started*, *Try*, and so on. <!-- QST-PAGE-SUBTITLE-003 -->
+- Adds new value beyond the title. It should not repeat the title or be a rephrased version of it. <!-- QST-PAGE-SUBTITLE-004 -->
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- *Get hands-on with Waku's key capabilities.*
+- *Quickly add payments to your project with Stripe.*
+
+## Access callout guidelines <!-- group: QST-ACCESS -->
+
+This note-type callout is exclusively to alert readers about what roles, permissions, or product versions are required to perform the procedure.
+
+- Place it after the title and subtitle, before the overview. <!-- QST-ACCESS-001 -->
+- Use the `Note` callout style. <!-- QST-ACCESS-002 -->
+- Start with the phrase: *This feature is available to users with...* or *To perform this procedure, you need...* <!-- QST-ACCESS-003 -->
+- Focus on required roles, permissions, or product versions only. Don't include any other prerequisite such as knowledge, skills, or tools. <!-- QST-ACCESS-004 -->
+
+**Examples:**
+
+- *This feature is available to admin roles in version 5.0 or later with write permissions on the repository.*
+- *This procedure requires contributor roles in version 2.3 or higher and read/write access to the API endpoints.*
+
+## Callouts guidelines <!-- QST-CALLOUTS -->
+
+- Use callouts sparingly in the document and only when necessary to avoid overwhelming the reader. <!-- QST-CALLOUTS-001 -->
+- One callout maximum per section <!-- QST-CALLOUTS-002 -->
+- Keep callouts concise. <!-- QST-CALLOUTS-003 -->
+- Use the appropriate type: `Tip`, `Note`, `Important`, or `Caution`. <!-- QST-CALLOUTS-004 -->
+
+## Overview guidelines <!-- group: QST-OVERVIEW -->
+

+
+- Use one callout after the intro for important notes, warnings, or tips. <!-- QST-TASK-CALL-ONCE -->
+- Do not place callouts between steps. <!-- QST-TASK-CALL-NO-BETWEEN -->
+- One callout maximum per task. <!-- QST-TASK-CALL-ONE -->
+
+### Task steps guidelines:
+
+- Use a numbered list. <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-LIST-ORDERED -->
+- Start each step with an imperative verb; avoid *-ing* forms. <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-VERB -->
+- One step = one user action (combine only trivial actions). <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-ONE-ACTION -->
+- All steps must use number `1` (1, 1, 1, ... instead of 1, 2, 3, ...) <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-ALL-ONE -->
+- Aim for 2–7 steps. Split if longer. <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-RANGE -->

+- Bold UI elements (buttons, menus, options). <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-UI-BOLD -->
+- Use inline code for commands, filenames, paths, and output. <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-CODE-INLINE -->
+- Don’t use external links in steps; only same-page anchors. <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-LINKS-INTERNAL -->
+- For UI paths, put location before action. <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-LOC-FIRST -->
+- For conditions, write the result first, then the condition. <!-- QST-TASK-STEP-RESULT-FIRST -->
+
+### Clarifiers guidelines (optional) <!-- group: QST-TASK-BUL -->
+
+- Don't use numbered substeps beneath a step (nested ordered lists). <!-- QST-TASK-BUL-NOSUBTASK -->
