Using Git in Command Line

Using Git in terminal or PowerShell

This a quick way to use Git and push your project to your repository on GitHub. At least that what I do and it works! This assumes that you have Git installed.

1. Configure Git

   Need to set your email address and username.

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

2. To initialize or reinitialize existing Git repository

   git init

3. Stage changes

   git add .

4. See status of your files; staged, unstaged, modified, etc.

   git status

5. Commit your changes, you'll whatever you feel appropriate between the quotes:

   git commit -m "your notes here"

6. Push/upload your changes to your github repository

   git push origin master
