• Step 1: Visit the student developer Pack main page (education.github.com/pack)
• Step 2: Sign Up for the student developer pack
• Step 3: Select Get Student Benefit
• Step 4: Sign-in or SignUp for a GitHub account.
• Step 5: Add your school email. This process usually needs some authentication, because a code will be sent to your school email for verification.
• Step 6: Enter the name of your school
• Step 7: Answer the questions on how you plan to use GitHub.
• Step 8: On some occasions, more proof might be required. So you might need to upload either of school identity card or any other form of proof of study validity.
• Final step: Submit the application.
