如何将我对克隆 Github 存储库的编辑推送到我自己的存储库？

Question

I cloned an existing Github repo, then created a new repo on my own account, did git remote add other <my-new-repo-URL> , and git push -u other master . What appears when I look at the new pushed project on Github is a copy of the project that I pulled, without any of the edits I added. Does anyone know why this would be happening?

Answer 1

You did not mention the steps you did to " commit everything " .

Make sure that you did indeed commit your changes before push -ing to other .

$ git clone <old-repo-url>

$ cd old-repo
$ (add/edit files) 
$ git add .
$ git status
$ git commit -m "Edited some files"
$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by X commits.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)
...

$ git remote add other <new-repo-url>
$ git push -u other master

Make sure also that you are committing on the correct branch. Maybe you committed on a different branch, but you are only pushing the master branch to the other repo.

You can try push -ing a different branch or --all instead.

$ git branch
$ git remote add other <new-repo-url>
$ git push other --all
