Version Control and Git

Create Local Repository and push to Github

Initialize a Git Repository:

git init to start git on a specified directory

Create and Add Files:

touch index.html

Add to Staging:

git add .

Commit the Changes:

git commit -m "Initial commit”

Add a Remote:

git remote add origin <GitHub_Repository_URL>

You can get the URL after you create a remote repo in Github

Push now:

💡 Because this is our first time pushing to this remote repository, we will need to use a special command. The exact command is easy to forget.

Thankfully, when we use git push, Git will tell us what else we need to add to complete the command.

git push --set-upstream origin master
