Uploading your project to GitHub gives you the feature-rich tools and collaboration needed to elevate your project to the next level. Not to mention, it's also pretty exciting. If you're doing this for the first time, you have a few options when uploading your project to GitHub. This course will guide you through the necessary steps to upload a local project to be hosted on GitHub.
I know some people like to get straight to the point while others like more information. For those who like more information, be sure to check out the drop-downs like this one ⬇️
You may be wondering what this GitHub thing is all about and why you should use it. If this sounds like you, here are a few reasons to make GitHub your project's new home:
Most users find it is easiest to upload a project that is already located on their local machine, so the goal of this first step is to make a local copy of the repository. First, let's make sure this course is going to give you the right steps:
If you are moving your project from another version control system, the steps are a bit different that uploading your project from your local machine. Because of this, we have a dedicated course for migrating your project to GitHub.
If you are moving your project from Mercurial, Subversion, or another Git platform, join the Migrating your project to GitHub course to migrate your project to GitHub.
If you aren't sure whether or not your code is under version control, it probably isn't. However, here are a few tests you can apply to know for certain:
If none of these are true, your project isn't using version control.

✨ Terrific! @archmod since you already have the project locally, you are almost ready to move it to GitHub.
To confirm: You have a project directory on your computer and you want to save it on GitHub.

There are many platforms that allow users to create and store projects. We can't cover them all, but we will do our best to cover the more common examples. First, let's cover general instructions:
Now let's talk about specific platforms:

In general, there are two types of files: text files and binary files.
Text files, like most code files, are easily tracked with Git 📖 and are very lightweight.
However, binary files like spreadsheets, presentations with slides, and videos don't work well with Git. If your repository already has some of these files, it's best to have a plan in place before you enable Git version control.
You could choose to remove the binary files, or use another tool like git-lfs (Git Large File Storage). We won't get into detail on how to set up git-lfs in this course, but we will talk about .gitignore
files next, which are key to protecting your code from becoming bloated with binaries.
.gitignore
As we convert your project to a Git repository, it should only include the source code necessary to build or compile your project. In addition to avoiding binaries as we discussed above, you will also want to keep build artifacts out of your version controlled code.
To do this, you will create a file in your current project named .gitignore
. Git will use the .gitignore
to determine which files and directories should not be tracked under version control. The .gitignore
file is stored in your repository in order to share the ignore rules with any other users that interact with the repository.
Since the files to be ignored are dependent on the language you are using, the open source community has contributed some great templates for .gitignore
files in the github/gitignore
repository.
