Adding a project to GitHub with CLI de GitHub
CLI de GitHub is an open source tool for using GitHub from your computer's command line. CLI de GitHub can simplify the process of adding an existing project to GitHub using the command line. To learn more about CLI de GitHub, see "About CLI de GitHub."
-
In the command line, navigate to the root directory of your project.
-
Initialize the local directory as a Git repository.
git init -b main
-
Stage and commit all the files in your project
git add . && git commit -m "initial commit"
-
To create a repository for your project on GitHub, use the
gh repo create
subcommand. When prompted, select Push an existing local repository to GitHub and enter the desired name for your repository. If you want your project to belong to an organization instead of your user account, specify the organization name and project name withorganization-name/project-name
. -
Follow the interactive prompts. To add the remote and push the repository, confirm yes when asked to add the remote and push the commits to the current branch.
-
Alternatively, to skip all the prompts, supply the path to the repository with the
--source
flag and pass a visibility flag (--public
,--private
, or--internal
). For example,gh repo create --source=. --public
. Specify a remote with the--remote
flag. To push your commits, pass the--push
flag. For more information about possible arguments, see the GitHub CLI manual.

$ git commit -m "First commit" # Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository. Para eliminar esta confirmación y modificar el archivo, usa 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' y confirma y agrega nuevamente el archivo.
