Then, roll with these steps to get your repo up using the SSH GitHub vibes:
…or create a new repository on the command line
“`html
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin git@github.com:TjoBiZ/blog-example.git
git push -u origin main
“`
…or push an existing repository from the command line
“`html
git remote add origin git@github.com:TjoBiZ/blog-example.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
“`
Rollin’ with a personal token instead? Swap in this HTTPS remote origin link:
git remote add origin https://github.com/TjoBiZ/blog-example.git
There you have it! Whether you’re coding to the rhythm of the crashing waves or the quiet hum of a coffee shop, these Git commands will keep your projects surf-ready and steady as she goes. Keep it real, keep it coded.
