🤔 Q. How to upload my project from my computer to github?

1. Make sure that you have GitBash installed and connected to your Github account. You can find many YouTube videos on how to do this.
2. Open your local project folder using GitBash
3. git init use this command to initialize your repository.
4. git add . use this command to add your files into git.
5. git commit -m "put a comment here" this command will add a comment so that yo later know what was the commit about.
6. git branch -M main This command will set the branch to main.
7. git remote add origin https://yourgithubrepo.git This will add your github repo link to remote and thus link it to your local repo.
8. git push -u origin main This is final command to push all the files online inside the repo.
9. Once this is done, you just need to do 4th, 5th and 8th command in order everytime to update the online repository with any changes in local repo.
