Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
In my opinion, it is not a good practice to create a new repository with the same name with the template.
The "Create a new repository" image is misleading.

Describe the solution you'd like
Change the misleading image "Create a new repository".

Describe alternatives you've considered
Clarify that learners don't have to follow the image.

Although I've used GitHub for a few years, I just learned of your Skills website, so I thought I'd go through it to fill in gaps in my understanding.

I went through the Introduction to GitHub first module, which had me create the introduction-to-github repo.

Then, I went to module two, on writing Markdown. The first thing it wants me to do is create the introduction-to-github repo. Again. Huh? Do I use the one created in module 1? Do I delete the introduction-to-github repo? There is no Use this template button. I'm lost as to what I'm supposed to do in order to have a pull request created. I don't understand why I can't continue to use the introduction-to-github repo I did in module 1.

Please clarify.

yea. Point 2 of 'How to start this course' needs a bullet point with a suggested name for that skills course. Maybe:

  • For owner, choose your personal account or an organization to host the repository.
  • Choose a name for the new repository. We suggest gh-skills-course-<insert name of course>.
  • We recommend creating...

We've updated the README template and courses to use a more generic image. I'll leave the issue open regarding the name suggestion cc @skills/content-reviewers
