# Getting Started with Docker Hub
This section provides a quick introduction to the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com),
including how to create an account.
The [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) is a centralized resource for working with
Docker and its components. Docker Hub helps you collaborate with colleagues and get the
most out of Docker.To do this, it provides services such as:
* Docker image hosting.
* User authentication.
* Automated image builds and work-flow tools such as build triggers and web
hooks.
* Integration with GitHub and BitBucket.
In order to use Docker Hub, you will first need to register and create an account. Don't
worry, creating an account is simple and free.
## Creating a Docker Hub Account
There are two ways for you to register and create an account:
1. Via the web, or
2. Via the command line.
### Register via the web
Fill in the [sign-up form](https://hub.docker.com/account/signup/) by
choosing your user name and password and entering a valid email address. You can also
sign up for the Docker Weekly mailing list, which has lots of information about what's
going on in the world of Docker.

### Register via the command line
You can also create a Docker Hub account via the command line with the
`docker login` command.
$ sudo docker login
### Confirm your email
Once you've filled in the form, check your email for a welcome message asking for
confirmation so we can activate your account.
### Login
After you complete the confirmation process, you can login using the web console:

Or via the command line with the `docker login` command:
$ sudo docker login
Your Docker Hub account is now active and ready to use.

exercise.
