7 Putting codes on Github

Key terms/commands:

• git push: upload your commits to a remote repository (like GitHub!)

7.1 Push an existing repository from your local computer

Go back to the local directory, workdir that we made in previous sections.

cd ~/workdir

Add the github repo you just made as a remote repository that you want to push your data to.

• Replace your_username with your github username

git remote add origin https://github.com/your_username/workdir.git

Check what is listed as your remote repository now.

git remote -v

## origin   https://github.com/your_username/workdir.git (fetch)
## origin   https://github.com/your_username/workdir.git (push)

Push your local repository to your Github

git push –u origin master
