How to deploy your local project on github using git

Hey fellow readers!

If you are a newbie to GitHub and the open-source world, then you should learn git commands as well. Believe me, that is really easy if you do with me.

In this post, i will teach you how to deploy your projects on github pages(gh-pages) using git. So a lot know and a lot to discuss as always

So for this you need:

1. a github account
2. git windows application (since i am a window user, i will be using git window commands).

So lets start the deployment with git. For this, launch git application on windows.

1. Set your username with this command
   git config --global user.name "Vikas Singh"

2. Set your email id with this command
   git config --global user.email "abc@example.com"

3. Switch to the directory where you want to do the entire deployment work. I will suggest creating a new directory for that purpose.

cd Documents
cd vikasgit

Like here I have created the folder named "vikasgit" in my "Documents" folder. So I used the "cd" command 2 times. And to create new folder i used the command below:
mkdir vikasgit

1. Now initialize an empty git repository in that folder "vikasgit"
   git init_

2. Clone the repo on which you want to deploy your projects.
   git clone [repo link]

3. Now again switch to the repo.
   cd [repo-name]

4. Add your project files manually in the repo which is now created in your system locally.

5. Now switch to the GitHub-pagesbranch. This command is used to switch to any branch.
   git checkout gh-pages

NOTE: To create a new branch use this command
git branch -b [branch-name]

1. Stage the changes made recently.
   git add .

2. Commit the changes
   git commit -m "first commit"

3. Check the status of the current repo.
   git status

4. Finally push the new changes.
   push origin gh-pages

NOTE: Check the log (history of the current repo)
git log
