Creating a repository from scratch

(Based on a local project folder)

cd ~/Projects/Nuggit                       # Location of existing local folder
vi README.md .gitignore                    # Create these useful files
git init                                   # 
git add README.md .gitignore               # 
git commit -m "first commit"               # 
git branch -M main                         # 
gh repo create Nuggit --source=. --private # Creating the actual Repo on GitHub
git push -u origin main                    # Push the folder layout & initial files

git add *                                  # Add in the rest of the project
git commit -m "second commit"
git push -u origin main                    # & push it...

Pulling down a repository for local work

(Into a local project folder)

gh repo clone REPONAME

cd PROJECTFOLDER
git add *
git commit -m "MESSAGE"
git push
