Pushing to github.com

Lecture 118:- Pushing to github.com

To push code to GitHub, you need to follow these general steps:

1. Create a repository on GitHub.com: Create a new repository on GitHub by clicking on the "+" icon in the top-right corner and selecting "New repository". Give it a name and choose whether you want it to be public or private.
2. Initialize a local repository: Create a local repository on your computer using Git by navigating to the folder where you want to store the code and running the command "git init".
3. Add your files: Add your files to the repository using the command "git add ." to add all files or "git add filename" to add a specific file.
4. Commit your changes: Commit the changes to the repository using the command "git commit -m 'commit message'" where the commit message explains what changes were made.
5. Add a remote: Link your local repository to the remote repository on GitHub by running the command "git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/repo-name.git" where "your-username" is your GitHub username and "repo-name" is the name of your repository.
6. Push your changes: Push your changes to the remote repository on GitHub using the command "git push -u origin master". This will push the changes in your local repository to the remote repository on GitHub.

If there are any conflicts during the push, you may need to resolve them before you can successfully push your changes. You can also use other commands such as "git pull" and "git fetch" to update your local repository with changes from the remote repository on GitHub.
