Repository Setup

Now, we are going to learn how to setup local and remote repository for our project.

• First of all, open you github site and create a remote repository.
  Repository Name: Vaccination-Scheduling-Application-Udemy
  Tick on Add readme file and choose Python on gitignore template

• Now, create a folder in desktop for initializing local repository.
  Folder Name: Vaccination-Scheduling-Application-Udemy
  

• After that, open command prompt in that directory.

• Now, initialize the local github repository.

  git init

• After that, you need to connect your local repository to remote repository.

  git remote add origin [Repository URL]

• Open the readme file and make some changes. Add "Made with Django" in the file.

• Now, using the command prompt, add the changes in the staging area.

  git add README.md

• Currently our changes are in staging area, so, we need to commit it.

  git commit README.md -m "My First Commit"

• Now, in case the name of your local branch is master then change it to main. Because, usually, in the github, the branch name is main instead of master.

• To see the name of your branch, type

  git branch

• To change the current branch name to main, you need to type,

  git branch -M main

• Finally, we have made a commit in the local repository, now, its time to push our changes to remote repository.

• To push your local changes to remote repository, type

  git push origin main

• Open the repository and verify that you can see your local changes in the remote repository.
