Question

After using git to locally track a project, how can I add it to GitHub?

Answer 1

1.Create a README.md in your local repo (for GitHub -*optional)

2.git remote add origin

(You can verify you have origin by entering git remote -v. You could see .git as the origin).

3.Make a commit by git commit -a -m ""

(Important! Only committed files will be pushed to Github)

4.Now push to GitHub by git push -u origin master (If you pushing the master branch).

You will be needing passwords every time you push (If you cloned using https:).For get rid of that ;

In Terminal, enter the following:

git config --global credential.helper cache
# Set git to use the credential memory cache

To change the default password cache timeout, enter the following:

git config --global credential.helper 'cache --timeout=3600'
# Set the cache to timeout after 1 hour (setting is in seconds)
