๐Ÿš€ Mastering Git: Adding and Pushing Branches to GitHub

Hey LinkedIn fam! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Ever wondered how to seamlessly add and push branches to your GitHub repository? ๐ŸŒ Here's a quick guide to help you navigate through the process:

1. Create a Repository on GitHub:

  • Head over to GitHub, create a new repository, and note the repository URL.

2. Initialize Git (if not done already):

  • In your local project directory, run: git init

3. Link Local Repository to GitHub:

  • Add GitHub repository as remote origin: git remote add origin <repository_url>

4. Create and Switch to Branches:

  • Create new branches using: git branch <branch_name>

  • Switch to the branch: git checkout <branch_name>

5. Add and Commit Changes:

  • Make changes, add, and commit them to the branch:

      git add .
      git commit -m "Commit message"
    

6. Push Branches to GitHub:

  • To push all branches to GitHub: git push --all origin

7. Undo Push to Wrong Repository:

  • Made a mistake? Force push to the correct repository:

      git push --force --all <correct_repository_url>
    

8. Update Remote (if needed):

  • To update the remote URL:

      git remote remove origin
      git remote add origin <correct_repository_url>
    

Remember, collaboration is key, and exercise caution with force push when collaborating with others. Happy coding! ๐Ÿš€โœจ
