In this quick tutorial we will look at how to get your existing project uploaded to Github, by using the Github interface and a few simple git commands.
Only 4 simple Git commands:
First set the remote origin, meaning the url outside of your computer where you want to upload.
This is done through this command where you need to change git-repository-url with your specific url:
- git remote add origin git-repository-url
Then only 3 more commands and you're done:
- git add . (adds everything to staging)
- git commit -m "Git message" (Commits staged changes with message inside quotes)
- git push --set-upstream origin master (points to the place you want to upload your code to and push it to remote origin on Github)
I still use this method of uploading my project, because it's so simple and fast. I don't really have to remember anything except for the fundamentals of Git.
