Step 1

Create a new repository for your project

It's a good idea to create a new repository for each individual project you're working on. If you're writing a software project, grouping all the related files in a new repository makes it easier to maintain and manage the codebase over time.

• In the upper-right corner of any page, select , then click New repository.
• In the "Repository name" box, type a name for your project. For example, type "my-first-project."
• In the "Description" box, type a short description. For example, type "This is my first project on GitHub."
• Select whether your repository will be Public or Private. Select "Public" if you want others to be able to see your project.
• Select Add a README file. You will edit this file in a later step.
• Click Create repository.

Step 2

✅ Prerequisites

• Git is installed: git --version
• You have a GitHub account
• You have created the repo in the first step
• You have a local project folder (say it's called myproject)

🔧 Steps to Push a Local Project to GitHub

1. Open terminal and navigate to your project

   cd /path/to/myproject

2. Initialize git (if not already)

   git init

3. Add remote GitHub repo

   git remote add origin https://github.com/%your github username%/%your repo name from step 1%.git

4. Add files to staging

   git add .

5. Commit the files

   git commit -m "Initial commit"

6. Push to GitHub (main branch)

   If you're pushing to the main branch:

   git branch -M main
   git push -u origin main

   If you're using master instead:

   git push -u origin master

✅ Confirm

Visit your repo from step 1 — your project should now be visible there.

📝 Optional

If you later want to update changes:

git add .
git commit -m "Some update message"
git push
