Use Github for your Existing Flutter Project

Todo:

• Create Github Repository
• Initialize Local Project
• Add files to the Repository
• Add the remote Repository
• Push the Project to the Github

Create a GitHub Repository

1. Sign in to GitHub: Go to GitHub and sign in or create an account if you don’t have one.
2. Create a new repository:

• Click on the + icon in the top right corner and select “New repository”.
• Name your repository (e.g., my-flutter-project).
• Add a description (optional).
• Choose the repository to be Public or Private.
• Do not initialize the repository with a README, .gitignore, or license (you'll add these from your local project).
• Click on “Create repository”.

2. Initialize Git in Your Local Project

1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to your Flutter project directory:

cd path/to/your/flutter-project

3. Initialize a new Git repository:

git init

3. Add Files to the Repository

1. Add all your project files to the Git staging area:

git add .

2. Commit the files:

git commit -m "Initial commit"

3. Change your branch to ‘main’:

git branch -M main

This is neccessary, because Github Changes its main branch from master to main

4. Add the Remote Repository

Add the GitHub repository as a remote:

git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/my-flutter-project.git

Replace your-username and my-flutter-project with your GitHub username and repository name.

5. Push Your Project to GitHub

Push your local repository to GitHub:

git push -u origin main

6. Verify Your Project on GitHub

• Go to your GitHub repository URL in your browser.
• You should see your Flutter project files listed in the repository.

Now your local Flutter project is uploaded to GitHub, and you can continue to manage it using Git commands.
