如何使用本地git仓库填充github仓库？

Question

I Have a local git repository working without problem. However, I want to send this repository to populate a new repository on github. Reading through github documentation I keep reading how to branch off a remote repository or how to push to a remote repository but not how to initially populate the remote repository. Thanks in advance

Answer 1

On local repository:

git init

git add .

git commit -m 'First commit'

git remote add origin remote_repository_URL

git remote -v

git push origin master

Please note that remote_repository_URL is the url of your newly created github repository.

Answer 2

First of all create a repository on github and note the url for that repository. Now moce to your local repository and add new origin. With the command .

git remote add origin paste/your/github/url

Now you can check the same with the command

git remote -v

if its reflecting or not.

Now just type command

 git push origin master

and all local repository contents are moved to your Github repository.

Answer 3

Once you created the repo on github, just follow their instructions, which are like:

git remote add origin https://github.com/username/reponame.git
git push -u origin master

Answer 4

The question is little unclear, but still by 'initially populate', I assume you wish to create new repository.

Please read about it here:

Answer 5

If you create a new repository on GitHub, they tell you what to do:

git remote add origin git@github.com:your_username/your_repository_on_github.git
git push -u origin master
