Creating a new Github repository and link it to the local existing project in your computer

1. Create a new repository on GitHub
   
   2. Get the remote repository Web URL by pressing the “Clone or Download” button (coloured green). It looks like this : https://github.com/iserifith/ScoreBoard.git
   
   3. Open Terminal and go to your local project folder where you have the files you have been working on.
   
   4. Initialize the local project folder as a Git repository using the following command :
   git init
   
   5. Add the files in the project folder into “local git repository” - this is called “staging”.
   git add .
   
   Note : This does not connect to “remote git repository”. Understand the difference between local and remote git repository.
   
   6. Commit the files that you’ve staged in your local repository.
   git commit -m “First commit”
   
   7. Now we set so that our local repository are linked to the remote repository. This command set the remote repository as the “origin”.
   git remote add origin {remote repository Web URL}
   
   Example : git remote add origin https://github.com/iserifith/ScoreBoard.git
   
   8. Verify that our remote repository are linked properly using
   git remote -v
   
   It will prompt you something like this :
   origin https://github.com/iserifith/ScoreBoard.git (fetch)
   origin https://github.com/iserifith/ScoreBoard.git (push)
   <div>
   </div>9. Once all set, push the all files (that we have committed just now) in your local repository to GitHub using the following command :
   git push origin master

   Now, to make sure you keep updated Github with your work, all you need to are 3 steps :
   
   1. Add all files (staging)
   git add .
   
   2. Commit
   git commit -m “I did some changes”
   
   3. Push to Github (remote repository)
   git push origin master
