How put locally edited file to github?

Steps:
To add a locally edited file to GitHub, there are a few steps you'll need to follow:
Make sure you have a GitHub repository set up for the project. If not, create a new repository on GitHub.
Initialize a Git repository for the project locally if it's not already. You can do this using:
git init
- Add the GitHub repository as a remote for your local repository:
git remote add origin git@github.com:[username]/[repository].git
// if you set already then change it like:
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:[username]/[repository].git
- Add the edited file to the staging area:
git add [file]
or
git add . // for all
- Commit the changes with a descriptive message:
git commit -m "Edited [file]"
- Push the commits to the GitHub repository:
git push origin main
Or if you're using a different branch:
git push origin [branch]
This will push your local changes to the remote GitHub repository.
After your first commit
We push code multiple time in project. so next follow these commands
git status // check which file is modified
git add . or [file] // add file to staged area
git commit -m "file added"
git push origin main
You can also use GitHub CLI to simplify this process. With GitHub CLI installed, you can simply run:
gh repo create --source=. --push
This will initialize a new GitHub repository, add the local repository as a remote, and push your changes.
happy coding!
