Git-project

This is my first Git and GitHub project.

Description

In this project, I wrote down the Git commands I used to create and modify files step by step.

Task 1

Initialize and Connect a Repository

1. Initialize a new local repository

git init

Creates a new Git repository in my project folder.

2. Create files and make the first commit

echo # Workshop 1 > README.md echo Some notes > notes.txt git add README.md notes.txt git commit -m "Initial commit: add README and notes"

Adds the files to staging and saves the first commit.

3. Connect to GitHub and push

git branch -M main git remote add origin https://github.com/astalakshmi3/workshop1.git git push -u origin main

Links my local repo to my GitHub repository and uploads it.

4. Track the file

echo "Added project goals" >> README.md git add README.md git commit -m "Docs: update README with project goals" git push

Practiced making meaningful commits and pushing changes.

5. Create a .gitignore

echo node_modules/ > .gitignore echo .env >> .gitignore git add .gitignore git commit -m "Chore: add .gitignore" git push

Task 2

Clone, Rename, and Re-Publish

1. Clone the Lexicon repository

git clone https://github.com/Lexicon-Smaland/Hello-World.git cd Hello-World

Creates a copy of the Lexicon “Hello-World” project on my computer.

2. Change the remote to my own GitHub

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/astalakshmi3/Hello-World.git

3. Make a small edit and push

echo "Edited by Astalakshmi" >> README.md git add README.md git commit -m "Chore: add editor note to README" git push -u origin main

"Edited by Astalakshmi"
