You can learn how to setup your github respoitory using a command line. Option 1. Create a new repository. Option 2. Push an existing repository. Option 3. Import code from another repository.

Note: in this example I use this user and repository name, you should replace them for yours. user: rogelioprieto repository name: test

Initial steps.

1. First install git.

sudo apt install git

2. Tell to git who you are.

Set your username and email. Note: insert your email account.

Option a) To set your account’s identity.

git config --global user.email "myname@gmail.com"
git config --global user.name "rogelioprieto"

Option b) To set the identity only in this repository.

git config user.email "myname@gmail.com"
git config user.name "rogelioprieto"

3. Then, you should create a new folder and go to this folder. In this example we’ll create the folder test inside the home folder.

mkdir ~/test
cd ~/test

Option 1. Create a new repository on the command line.

echo "# test" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/rogelioprieto/test.git
git push -u origin master

Option 2. Push an existing repository from the command line.

git remote add origin https://github.com/rogelioprieto/test.git
git push -u origin master

Option 3. Import code from another repository.

You can initialize this repository with code from a Subversion, Mercurial, or TFS project.
