[Homework 1] [GitHub] Create your own GitHub repository using Spring Initializr

[yeagerereren]

Your first assignment is to create a personal repository for your own Spring Boot application in the organization m01-project.devs.

Steps:

1. Go to https://start.spring.io
2. Create a new Spring Boot project:

• Language: Java 25
• Spring Boot: 3.x
• Dependencies: Spring Web, Lombok, ...

3. Download the generated ZIP and upload it to a new GitHub repository to the organization with your own account.
4. Name your repo: spring-boot-demo-[yourname]
5. Commit and push your initial code.

Deliverables:

• Share the GitHub repo link in a comment on this issue.
• Ensure main branch builds successfully (mvn clean install).

Evaluation:
✅ Project structure is correct
✅ .gitignore is included
✅ Readable commit messages

1 — First unzip your spring boot project and then navigate to your project folder.
cd /D:/Project/test
or (PowerShell)
Set-Location D:\Project\test

2 — Initialize a git repository (if not already)
git init

3 — Stage and commit all files
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit - Spring Boot project"

4 — Check current remotes (this shows if an incorrect origin exists)
git remote -v

5 — If a wrong origin exists, remove it
git remote remove origin

6 — Add the correct remote for the organization repo
git remote add origin https://github.com/m01-project-devs/spring-boot-demo-hamza.git

Note: the URL uses the organization name (m01-project-devs) — you do not put your personal username there.

7 — Push your branch to the remote and set upstream

If your local branch is master:

git push -u origin master

If your local branch is main:

git push -u origin main

After successful push you will see lines like:

To https://github.com/m01-project-devs/spring-boot-demo-hamza.git

• [new branch] master -> master
  branch 'master' set up to track 'origin/master'.
