This is a Dumping Ground.

This is the first repository I ever made and I am learning the proper way to utilize GitHub.

How to Connect Git Repository with VS Code

Part 1-- Create the GitHub Repository

1. Open your browser and go to https://github.com
2. Log in
3. In the top-right corner, click the + plus icon
4. Click New Repository On the "Create a new repository" page:
5. Name the repository
6. Description (optional)
7. Choose Public or Private
8. Important we want the repo completely empty
9. Click "Create Repository"

Part 2-- Adding Git to VS Code

1. Open project in VS Code

2. In VS Code open a new terminal

3. git init

   you should see a message confirming the inialized Git repository.

4. in the terminal add

   git add .

5. then commit files: bash git commit -m " initial Commit"

6. If this is your first time running git you may need to add your account info

   git config --global user.name "Your Name"
   git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

7. Connect your local folder to GitHub Go back to the Github page that you left open.

   You should see a section called "... or push an existing repository from the command line" Copy only the line that looks like this (example):

   git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/my-first-project.git

   Paste in the VS Code terminal and press Enter

8. Push your code to GitHub

   git branch -M main

   git push -u origin main

   -GitHub may open a browser window asking you to log in -approve the conection

Part 3-- Verify it worked

1. Go back to your GitHub repo page
2. Refresh the page Your files Should now be there!

Part 4- Future Updates (Super Important)

git add .
git commit -m "Describe what you changed"
git push
