Summary - First push

Combine remote and push to do the first upload.

The First Push Workflow

To share your local Git repository on GitHub, first create a remote connection with git remote add. Then send your commits and configure the upstream relationship using git push -u origin main.

git remote add origin https://github.com/ayse/ilk-projem.git
git push -u origin main

After these operations, your local main branch tracks the remote origin/main branch. You can use git push for subsequent commits.

Exercise Make Your First GitHub Upload

First, add https://github.com/ayse/ilk-projem.git as a remote repository named origin. Then push the local main branch and establish its upstream connection using the -u option.

git remote add origin https://github.com/ayse/ilk-projem.git
git push -u origin main

Test yourself

Which is the correct command sequence for the first push?
- git push origin main, then git remote add origin URL
- git remote add origin URL, then git push -u origin main
- git commit origin, then git remote add main URL
- git add origin URL, then git merge main
Show answer

git remote add origin URL, then git push -u origin main — The remote repository must first be added with the name <code>origin</code>. Then <code>git push -u origin main</code> sends the commits and establishes the upstream connection.
