How to add a new project to an existing GitHub repository

Need to push a new project to GitHub? This Git push tutorial will show you exactly how to do it. Simply create a new, or use an existing, GitHub repository, create a local Git repository, and then after you add and commit, use the git add command to connect the new project to the existing GitHub repo. After the Git remote is added, just perform a push. That will push your new project to the existing GitHub repository in the cloud!

I've been struggling to get started with using git for a while now (I think I've been putting it off for a year or two now). I've looked at different courses and whatnot, but this video is the best intro I have seen. You did a great job pointing out all of the gotchyas that I haven't been able to wrap my head around. Thank you!

Thanks! I actually have two better ways to do this if you run into problems with the server having a history and you don't want to force the push, which can mess things up if others have pulled from the repo. Feel free to check it out here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNdhhbJzzNOpqqs.html

@cameronmcnz Ай бұрын

Awesome! Now that's best if only you use the repo. If someone else is pushing and pulling, they'll need to re-clone that repo after a forced push. The other option is to rebase, which is safer but a bit more intimidating. Glad I could help!

Hi, but how do I upload to 'main' (!) (and how do I merge 'master' with 'main' after your tutorial? ) Thanks! 🙏

@cameronmcnz Жыл бұрын

So, new repos use main, older ones master. Is main on the server or the local? If you have a repo with just master, you can create a new branch called main. Then merge master into main. I didn't test these commands but it'd be something like this: git switch master // this creates a master branch git merge main // this merges main into master so the two are the same Something like that?

For clarification purposes, I have a mac computer and I use terminal which has command line , when you refer to a GitBash Shell inside the local folder, are you referring to me opening up terminal on my mac and cd to the root directory of my project on my computer and inside that directory I do all the Git commands from there ? I am asking as that is what it looks like you are doing but I want to make certain I am not in error as I am wanting to properly push stuff I build on my computer to github .

@cameronmcnz 8 ай бұрын

Yes, you will run these commands from the root folder of the project. There should be a hidden folder in there named .git. By the way, I did update this video with a slightly easier way to do it if you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8uBppihtp6-fYE.htmlsi=kuW8T8fV3tPLTzAv

Hi, Great video, I've done this before. I have a unique issue or an issue that I haven't come across as of yet. How to I push or merge a local project to a GitHub repo that already have the same files? So in this caas I have local files and I have the same GitHub files on the remote however the local files aren't setup to use git yet but I want to setup the files to work with the existing files in my GitHub repository. Hope I explained the correctly.

@cameronmcnz Жыл бұрын

A few ways. What about this: git clone create a new git branch delete all the files in the new branch. copy your project files into that same folder. do a git add and git commit Now all YOUR files are in that new branch. And the project files are in teh other branch. Then you can just merge stuff back and forth. I've done stuff like that before.

@cameronmcnz 9 ай бұрын

It's a hidden folder so you have to set Windows folder options to show hidden folders. I think on the command line/Git BASH you can do ls -a and that shows hidden folders as well. Make sure you are *in* the folder for the project, not a subfolder. After you clone you must CD into the folder Git creates for you.
