Create a repository
You can store a variety of projects in GitHub repositories, including open source projects. With open source projects, you can share code to make better, more reliable software. You can use repositories to collaborate with others and track your work. For more information, see "About repositories."
Note: You can create public repositories for an open source project. When creating your public repository, make sure to include a license file that determines how you want your project to be shared with others. Für weitere Informationen zu Open-Source, insbesondere zum Erstellen und Vergrößern eines Open-Source-Projekts, haben wir Open-Source Leitfäden erstellt, die Dir durch die Empfehlung von Best Practices für das Erstellen und Unterhalten von Repositorys helfen, eine gesunde Open-Source-Community zu pflegen. Du kannst auch einen kostenlosen GitHub Learning Lab Kurs zur Pflege von Open-Source-Communitys absolvieren.
- Benutze in der oberen rechten Ecke einer beliebigen Seite das -Dropdownmenü und wähle New Repository (Neues Repository).
- Type a short, memorable name for your repository. For example, "hello-world".
- Optionally, add a description of your repository. For example, "My first repository on GitHub."
- Choose a repository visibility. Weitere Informationen findest Du unter „Über Sichtbarkeit von Repositorys."
- Wähle Initialize this repository with a README (Dieses Repository mit einer README-Datei initialisieren).
- Click Create repository.
Congratulations! You've successfully created your first repository, and initialized it with a README file.
To learn more about GitHub CLI, see "About GitHub CLI."
-
In the command line, navigate to the directory where you would like to create a local clone of your new project.
-
To create a repository for your project, use the
gh repo createsubcommand. Replaceproject-namewith the desired name for your repository. If you want your project to belong to an organization instead of to your user account, specify the organization name and project name withorganization-name/project-name.gh repo create project-name -
Follow the interactive prompts. To clone the repository locally, confirm yes when asked if you would like to clone the remote project directory. Alternatively, you can specify arguments to skip these prompts. For more information about possible arguments, see the GitHub CLI manual.
Commit your first change
A commit is like a snapshot of all the files in your project at a particular point in time.
When you created your new repository, you initialized it with a README file. README files are a great place to describe your project in more detail, or add some documentation such as how to install or use your project. The contents of your README file are automatically shown on the front page of your repository.
Let's commit a change to the README file.
- In your repository's list of files, click README.md.
- Above the file's content, click .
- On the Edit file tab, type some information about yourself.
- Oberhalb des neuen Inhaltes klicke auf Preview changes (Änderungsvorschau).
- Review the changes you made to the file. You'll see the new content in green.
- Am Ende der Seite schreibe eine kurze, aussagekräftige Commit-Mitteilung, welche die Änderung beschreibt, welche Du an der Datei vornimmst. Du kannst den Commit in der Commit-Mitteilung mehr als einem Autor zuordnen. Weitere Informationen findest Du unter "Erstellen eines Commit mit mehreren Co-Autoren"
- Lege unter den Commit-Mitteilungsfeldern fest, ob Du Deinen Commit zum aktuellen Branch oder zu einem neuen Branch hinzufügen möchtest. If your current branch is the default branch, you should choose to create a new branch for your commit and then create a pull request. Weitere Informationen findest Du unter „Erstellen eines neuen Pull Requests."
- Klicke auf Propose file change (Dateiänderung vorschlagen).
Now that you have created a project, you can start committing changes.
README files are a great place to describe your project in more detail, or add some documentation such as how to install or use your project. The contents of your README file are automatically shown on the front page of your repository. Follow these steps to add a README file.
-
In the command line, navigate to the root directory of your new project. (This directory was created when you ran the
gh repo createcommand.) -
Create a README file with some information about the project.
echo "info about this project" >> README.md -
Enter
git status. You will see that you have an untrackedREADME.mdfile.$ git status Untracked files: (use "git add..." to include in what will be committed) README.md nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track) -
Stage and commit the file.
git add README.md && git commit -m "Add README" -
Push the changes to your branch.
git push --set-upstream origin HEAD
Celebrate
Congratulations! You have now created a repository, including a README file, and created your first commit on GitHub.
You can now clone a GitHub repository to create a local copy on your computer. From your local repository you can commit, and create a pull request to update the changes in the upstream repository. For more information, see "Cloning a repository" and "Set up Git."
You can find interesting projects and repositories on GitHub and make changes to them by creating a fork of the repository. For more information see, "Fork a repository."
Each repository in GitHub is owned by a person or an organization. You can interact with the people, repositories, and organizations by connecting and following them on GitHub. For more information see "Be social."
