VS Code how to use github with existing local project
Try instead with command-line:
cd c:\ABC
git init .
git config --global user.name <yourGitHubAccount>
git config --global user.email <yourGitHubEmailAccount>
git add .
git status
# edit .gitignore to ignore folder you don't want
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/<yourGitHubAccount>/<yourRepo.git>
git push -u origin master
Make sure your GitHub repo was actually empty (no README.md
)
@VonC, re-did the same steps: 1) create a new local empty directory, in VS Code link local empty directory to the empty repository at GitHub as described. Succeeded.
2) populate this local empty directory with my code files/directories.
3) git init .
system msg: Reinitialized existing Git repository .../.git/
3) ran these two commands one at a time, no error nor message.
git config --global user.name Jeb50
git config --global user.email [email protected]
4) git add .
System msg:

5) git status
System msg:
On branch master
Initial commit
Changes to be committed:
(use "git rm --cached <file>..." to unstage)
new file: .gitignore
new file: .vscode/launch.json
new file: Angular/Controllers/AuthController.js

new file: Angular/Models/user.js
new file: Angular/Modules/mainApp.js

new file: Views/Main/index.html
new file: Views/Starter.ejs
new file: content/Site.css
new file: package-lock.json
new file: package.json
new file: server.js
6) my .gitignore file:
# individual files
9222.jpg
err1.jpg
config.js
# exclude folders
node_modules/
7) git commit -m "first commit"
, seems ok but no code shown under the repository

Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.
Refresh Code tab at GitHub, expected files show up. Seems working.
Awesome!
