Suppose there are five developers working on the same project. So, everyone has to know what is actually going with project. Details like assigned task and how much work done by each team member.

So here comes the role of "Version Control System". There are so many version control systems in market but "Git" is one of the best and developed system.

Setting Up GitHub on local machine

Step 1

Create an GitHub account . Click on Repositories and click on new to create new repository. Name the Repository as you want. Choose Public. Create Repository.

Step 2

Download latest version of Git from official website And install it in the local machine.

Step 3

Open Visual Studio Code

1. Make an empty repository
2. Create any file ( index.html)
3. Open terminal in vscode.
4. Check Git version

      $ git --version
   

Step 4

Link the Git to a Github Account:

$ git config --global user.email "Your email address"

$ git config --global user.name "Yourname"

Step 5

Next step is to initialize the directory

$ git init

For point the folder to the GitHub repository

• Go to GitHub

Check the Status of repository

$ git status

The files are not tracking till now(Showing red)

For adding the files to tracking

$ git add .

This will track all files from folder(It will show green after git status)

Now we can commit them

$ git commit -m "Your message"

Now it is ready to push into GitHub repository

$ git push origin master

Note : For next time you don't need to add origin master you can directly use git push.

Go to GitHub check if the local files are pushed to this repository.
