如何将文件上传到Github存储库？

Question

I have a public Github repository and some files to upload in my local computer. Using Git Bash, I ran 'git init' at the same folder that the files are located. I also added those files using 'git add' command. Please let me know what I should do next. I don't know how to 'link' the local git folder and Github repository online.

Answer 1

If you were able to git add the files, git push should push them to your repository on GitHub. For your first commit, you may need to git push origin master .

EDIT: Before you can push, you'll also need to commit the files. You can do so with git commit -m "MESSAGE" where MESSAGE is a brief description of what you did like "Initial import of project" or "Added files".

Answer 2

Assuming you have already done the following:

• git init
• git add -A
• git commit -m "Initial code import"

You now setup the remote to GitHub so you can push your local branch to GitHub.

To quote GitHub:

To connect your local repository to your GitHub account, you will need to set a remote for your repository and push your commits to it.

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/username/Hello-World.git

# Creates a remote named "origin" pointing at your GitHub repository

$ git push origin master

# Sends your commits in the "master" branch to GitHub

Here is the Create A Repo help guide that I quoted from.
