Upload Local Project to GitHub: Step-by-Step

To upload a local project to GitHub, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a new repository on Github or create a new branch in an existing repository.
2. Navigate to the project folder using the command line tool in the root directory of the local project.
3. Initialize a Git repository: Use the command git init to create a Git repository.
4. Add project files to the staging area: Use the command “git add .” to add all files to the staging area.
5. Submitting files to the local repository: Use the command git commit -m “Initial commit” to submit files to the local repository, where “Initial commit” is the comment for the submission.
6. Linking a local repository to a Github repository: Use the command git remote add origin to establish a connection between the local repository and the Github repository.
7. Push the files from the local repository to Github: Use the command git push -u origin master to push the files from the local repository to the Github repository, where master is the branch name you want to push to.
8. Enter your Github username and password for authentication, then wait for the push to complete.

Once the above steps are completed, the local project has been successfully uploaded to the Github repository. You can now view the project files on Github and share or collaborate with others.
