but when I go to my repository, I found nothing.Screenshot of the project's tab on my repository

How can I merge the account project and the repository project?

Reading on the difference between GitHub repositories and GitHub projects, you have correctly associated at least one repository to your newly created project.

Your profile page (github.com/JulioMelchorPinto) does show two projects.

If it should show "3", maybe you have associated to the new project a private repository.

It is simply at a different level, there are account level projects and repository level projects.

Say I have projects that i want build for my portfolio, say todolist. In my account I would have a project for what it is that i need to do get that underway (hire staff, make the scaffolding for the project with create-react-app, buy a computer etc). Ok now that's done... time to start adding features to the repo that you have made... so make a project in the repo... maybe the todolist needs a list? Card for that, install a test suite? All the features i (might) put into the project for a repo... the account level is before you create a repo (at least in my world).

Unfortunately, in the "New" Projects, this is currently not possible. "New" Projects is currently beta, so we will have to see what happens. https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/52841
