Git

Git is a free and open distributed version control system.   The repositories are stored on your local PC.   You may link it to a product like GitHub to publish those repositories to a cloud based Git repository hosting service.  

 

Push Git project to GitHub

From a Windows command prompt, navigate to the project folder and initialize a new Git repository with the command:

git init

 

To add a remote GitHub repository to your local Git repository, first create a new repository on GitHub, then copy it's URL and add the URL to your local Git repository with the name "origin".  

git remote add origin {repository URL}

 

Stage changes or new files in the local Git repository, review the changes, and then save the changes:

git add .
git status
git commit -m "repository change comments"
git push origin main

 

Push local repository changes to the remote GitHub repository

git push origin main
