These following commands can be basically, run via the CLI terminal of VsCode.

Step 1: Navigate to the local project directory and create a local git repository ‘git init’

Step 2: Once that is successful, Click on the ‘source control’ icon on the left nav- bar in VsCode. You should be able to see files ready to be commit-ed. Then Press the ‘commit’ button under the box, stage the changes and commit the files.

Step 3: Visit your github account and create a new repository. Ignore creating ‘README.md’ and do not add any license to the repo. These settings may cause issues while pushing, so it is advisable to ignore.

Step 4: Copy the link to the newly created github repository.

Step 5: Return to VsCode’s terminal and type these commands in succession git remote abd origin<link to git hub repo> git remote -v git push-u origin master
