Upload local repository to github.com


I have a git repository which exists fully locally inside my PC. I want to create remote clone of it onto the github.com. How can it be done?


Solution

  • It looks like a very basic question, still follow the below steps

    Step 1: You need to create a github repository first

    Step 2: Then copy the URL of the github repo

    Step 4: Then add remote for the github repo (git remote add origin "copied repo URL")

    Step 3: Then clone the repo (Readme files will cloned) (git clone "copied repo URL")

    Step 5: Then add file (git add * or git add . or git add file name)

    Step 6: git commit -m "your message"

    Step 7: Then push it (git push origin "branch name")

    Login to github and check your Repository
