Guide: Pushing a Local Project to GitHub

1> Create a new repository on GitHub
     Go to GitHub and create a new repository
     Enter a repository name (e.g. backend_basic)
     Choose Public or Private
     Click Create repository

2> Open your terminal and navigate to your project root folder
3> git init -> To initialize the repository or It will initializes a local Git repository in your folder.
   git add README.md (Ignore this step as you do not want only 1 file i.e README.md to add and push on git hub. you have to push all your files. so follow next step)

   Note:- Create .gitignore before git add . (highly recommended) so you don't accidentally upload heavy or private files like node_modules or sensitive keys you have kept in .env
4> git add . -> Add all files in the current directory to staging
  → This stages everything (all files and folders) except items listed in .gitignore

5> git commit -m "first commit" -> Create your first commit with a descriptive message.
6> git branch -M main -> Set the branch name to main (GitHub’s default since ~2020)
7> git remote add origin https://github.com/notgetin18/backend_basic.git -> Copied from GitHub as you will get when you create a new repository. It will connect your local repository to GitHub repository you created.
8> git push -u origin main -> Push your code to GitHub for the first time. Now all your files will be uploded to github

 Note:- The -u Flag: In the final step, -u stands for "upstream." You only need to use it the first time. After that, you can simply type git push to send your updates to GitHub.
 Note:- Checking Status: If you’re ever unsure what Git is doing, run git status. It’s the best way to see which files are staged and ready to go.
