如何将本地仓库添加到分支

Question

I'm new in GitHub, as you can see in the picture I have no local repo I only have branch (main) without local repo.. How can I add one so that I can push my local repo to the remote repo?

Thank you..

Answer 1

You have to follow few steps. if you don't have the local repo configured. Do this

1. Initialize the git for the repostory

git init

2. Add your repo origin to git

git remote add origin <YOUR REPO PATH/URL>

Example is below

git remote add origin https://github.com/github/docs.git

By default it will be in the master/main branch.

If you have any local changes.

3. First stage them and run these commands

git add .
git commit -m "Your message"
git pull

git pull is if you have any changes in the repo but you don't have them, to merge them locally.

4. Now push the code to the repo. git push or

git push origin YOUR-BRANCH-NAME

Example

git push origin master or git push origin main

Now when you're pushing the code for the very first time. Then, follow step 1 and step 2 and write these commands

git add .
git commit -m "Your Message"
git push origin Your-Branch-Name

Example

git push origin master
