As an IT practitioner, using GitHub to upload files has become a very common behavior during work and study. Therefore, this article will introduce how to use GitHub to upload files.

1. Register a GitHub account

First of all, before uploading files on GitHub, you need to register a GitHub account. We can register on the GitHub official website. The process is very simple. You only need to fill in your email address and password.

2. Create a new repository

After registering the account, log in to the GitHub account, we can see the "Repositories" tab, click to enter, and then click the "New" button to start creating a new repository.

When creating a repository, you need to fill in the repository's name, description, Readme file, license and other information. After filling in, click the "Create repository" button to successfully create a new repository.

3. Upload files

1. Use the Git command line to upload files

After creating a new repository, we can use the Git command line to upload files. First, you need to create the folder to be uploaded locally and add files to the folder, then open the Git command line and use the cd command to enter the directory where the folder to be uploaded is located.

Then, execute the following commands in sequence:

• git init
• git add .
• git commit -m "first commit"
• git remote add origin [repository address]
• git push -u origin master

Among them, [repository address] needs to be replaced with the address of the repository you created.

After performing the above operations, Git will push the files in the local folder to GitHub to complete the file upload.

2. Use GitHub Desktop to upload files

GitHub Desktop is a visual Git upload tool officially produced by GitHub. It is suitable for users who are not familiar with the Git command line and is very simple to use.

After downloading and installing GitHub Desktop, open the software, click the "Add" button to add the warehouse to be uploaded, and click the "Publish" button to upload the warehouse and related files.

In the "Settings" option on the upper right side of the interface, you can make various settings for the repository, such as deleting the repository, changing the name, managing access rights, etc.

5. Summary

At this point, you can successfully use GitHub to upload files through the above steps.
