How to push changes to old repo to GITHUB after downloading it

I lost my PC data after hard-drive corruption. After that from my github repo i downloaded my code and made some changes and did npm install, but when i tried to push my changes to repo, it is saying there are no currently active repo to push. How to push my new changes to my old repo?

Solution

  • You should have cloned the repo on your local machine, that way you would have the git initialized. But, for now, you can follow the below steps.

    git init
git remote add origin <github repo url>

    The first line would initialize the git repo and the second would point it to the online repo you already have.
