Build a Bot Like ChatGPT: A Step-by-Step Guide

• Ensure that your repository was created correctly. Sometimes, the repository might not be fully initialized.

• Go to your GitHub profile and navigate to the repositories section.

• Verify if the repository you created is listed there.

• If the repository is listed, click on it.

• Check if there is an option to initialize the repository with a README or other options. If the repository is empty, the "Add file" button might not appear immediately.

• If the repository is initialized, you should see the "Add file" button near the top of the repository page. If not, try these steps:

  • Click on the "Code" tab if you are not already there.
  • Look for the "Add file" dropdown menu near the upper right side of the file list area.

• You can add files to your repository using Git commands. Here's how:

  • Open your terminal or Git Bash.
  • Navigate to your local repository directory.
  • Use the following commands to add and commit files:

  git init # if the repository is not already initialized
  git remote add origin
  git add . # add all files
  git commit -m "Initial commit"
  git push -u origin main # or the default branch name

• If you still cannot see the "Add file" option, try clearing your browser cache or using a different browser.

• Ensure you are logged in with the correct GitHub account.

Additional Tips:

Ensure you have the necessary permissions to add files to the repository if it belongs to an organization.

Verify repository settings to ensure there are no restrictions preventing file additions.
