    12  # Getting started with Docker Hub
    13  
    14  
    15  This section provides a quick introduction to the [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com),
    16  including how to create an account.
    17  
    18  The [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com) is a centralized resource for working with
    19  Docker and its components. Docker Hub helps you collaborate with colleagues and get the
    20  most out of Docker. To do this, it provides services such as:
    21  
    22  * Docker image hosting.
    23  * User authentication.
    24  * Automated image builds and work-flow tools such as build triggers and web
    25    hooks.
    26  * Integration with GitHub and BitBucket.
    27  
    28  In order to use Docker Hub, you will first need to register and create an account. Don't
    29  worry, creating an account is simple and free.
    30  
    31  ## Creating a Docker Hub account
    32  
    33  There are two ways for you to register and create an account:
    34  
    35  1. Via the web, or
    36  2. Via the command line.
    37  
    38  ### Register via the web
    39  
    40  Fill in the [sign-up form](https://hub.docker.com/account/signup/) by
    41  choosing your user name and password and entering a valid email address. You can also
    42  sign up for the Docker Weekly mailing list, which has lots of information about what's
    43  going on in the world of Docker.
    44

    46  
    47  ### Register via the command line
    48  
    49  You can also create a Docker Hub account via the command line with the
    50  `docker login` command.
    51  
    52      $ docker login
    53  
    54  ### Confirm your email
    55  
    56  Once you've filled in the form, check your email for a welcome message asking for
    57  confirmation so we can activate your account.
    58  
    59  
    60  ### Login
    61  
    62  After you complete the confirmation process, you can login using the web console:
    63  
    64  ![Login using the web console](/userguide/login-web.png)
    65  
    66  Or via the command line with the `docker login` command:
    67  
    68      $ docker login
    69  
    70  Your Docker Hub account is now active and ready to use.
