Git: Create Local Repository and Push to Remote (Simplified)

Step 1: Install Git

Download Git from https://git-scm.com.

After installation, check if it's installed using:

git --version

This checks if Git is installed on your system.

Step 2: Configure Git

Set your name and email:

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

These commands tell Git who you are (for commit records).

Step 3: Create a Local Repository

1. Create a folder:

mkdir my-project

cd my-project

Creates a project folder and moves inside it.

2. Initialize Git:

git init

Starts tracking the folder with Git.

Step 4: Create and Add Files

1. Create a new file:

echo "# My Project" > README.md

Creates a README file with text.

2. Add the file to Git:

git add README.md

Tells Git to track this file.

3. Check status:

git status

Shows which files are staged or not.

Step 5: Commit Changes

git commit -m "Initial commit"

Saves your changes to the local repository with a message.

Step 6: Create Remote Repository

Go to https://github.com or GitLab.

Click on New Repository, give it a name (e.g., my-project), and keep it empty (no README).

This creates a remote space to store your project.

Step 7: Connect Local to Remote

1. Copy the repo link (e.g., https://github.com/yourname/my-project.git)

2. Link it to your local project:

git remote add origin <repo-link>

Connects your local repo to the GitHub repo.

3. Verify connection:

git remote -v

Shows the remote repo URL linked.

Step 8: Push to Remote

git push -u origin master

Uploads your local commits to GitHub (use "main" instead of "master" if needed).

Step 9: Verify on GitHub

Go to your GitHub repo page.

You'll see your files and commit.

Confirms that your project is now online.
