Follow these steps to upload multiple folder or a project to GitHub repository:

Note Download Git Bash First. Ignore if already Downloaded.

Git Bash

1. Open Git Bash CLI.
2. Navigate to the desired Folder or Project.

   cd /path/to/your/project

3. Initialize a Git repository in your project directory:

   git init

4. Create a new file called LICENSE in your project directory, and copy the text of the desired License into this file. You can find the License text on internet. ( Optional Step. )

   nano LICENSE

Paste the text inside and save it by pressing Ctrl+x >>> then y >>> then Enter.

5. Add all your project files to the Git repository:

   • For adding all files at once use.

     git add .

   • For adding one file at a time use.

      git add <file_name>

6. Commit your files to the repository:

   git commit -m "Your Commit"

7. Create a new repository on GitHub. Make sure to not initialize it with a README, .gitignore, or License. This is because you are pushing an existing repository.

8. Link the local repository to the remote repository:

   git remote add origin https://github.com/username/new-repo.git

Replace https://github.com/username/new-repo.git with the URL of your newly created GitHub repository.

9. Rename your current branch to master:

   git branch -m main master

10. Push your local repository to GitHub:

    git push -u origin master
