#how to make a github repository

1. First make a repository on github with nothing in it
2. Then type git init within the folder I want to put on github
3. Using git add <your files> add the files to the list to be uploaded
4. Check you're adding the right files with git status
5. Type git commit -m <"my message"> to confirm the upload
6. Make sure github knows who you are using git config --global user.email "<email>" and git config --global user.name "<username>"
7. Type git remote add orgin <URL of the github repository> to create the address the uploaded files will go to
8. Check this is correct with git remote -v
9. Type git push origin master to upload the files to the URL address
10. Type in your username and password for github

#To update the files to send

1. git add <your files> These are any files you have edited or want to send 1b. git rm <you files> removes any files you no longer want to upload from the github repository but NOT your local machine
2. git commit -m "<my message>" Any message you want to include with the upload. I usually include the date
3. git commit origin master This confirms the changes you want to upload

#If you already have a repository

1. git clone
2. git add; git commit -m ... etc
3. git push origin master
