A practical approach to git and github

here, we have learnt how to create files in our local repository, open an empty repository, then push the files from our local repository to github.

These steps can be followed to push,and retireve files from github

• to push a file:

  • open the file on your local computer
  • initialise git using git init syntax
  • add the file(s) using git add 'filename' syntax
  • commit the file(s) using git commit -m 'commit message' syntax
  • go to your github account and a create an empty repository
  • push the file(s) using the git push origin main 'ssh or https link' syntax
  • tada! you are good to go.

• to retrieve a file from github:

  • first of all, fork the repository
  • then clone the repository to your local computer
  • then clone the upstream branch.
