Hello, Asking a few questions to help me get started in my first game jam.

I'm using Unity, so creating a github repo with the root project directory would be fine, right?

Now, on the create new project page on itch.io, I have a field called Project URL, where  I guess, the github repo URL is to be pasted...

Windows Build of the Game should be uploaded to the releases page of Github repo (and linked of course in the itch.io project description), right?

I also see a section called Uploads on the itch.io new project page, what should I do there, upload the build there too or leave it empty (if allowed). There is also a link there saying Add External File: You provide a link to the file and we'll keep track of how many times it's been downloaded. Should I paste the link of the .exe file on the github releases page??

Second thing, top of the create new project page says: You don't have payment configured If you set a minimum price above 0 no one wIill be able to download your project. Is configuring payments necessary?

Thanks and good luck.

Correct

The release(s) should definitely be uploaded to itch.io. No need to cut a release on the GitHub repo itself, but I think that's a good idea 👍🏻

That's where you'll attach the game executables / downloads. This game is a good example: https://zaphyk.itch.io/neon-skylines.

Nope - not necessary.
