Step 1)

Creating a Personal token

create a Public Access Token from here or go to Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Token

and create a token with a minimum of full repo and full admin:org and full admin:public_key permission.

Step 2)

Creating a SSH key

[I am using my public mail for this demo, you can use any thing else]

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your pass phrase"

Step 3)

Installing git and gh

Installation guide for git here

Installation guide for gh here

Installation on termux
pkg install git gh -y or
apt install git gh -y

Step 4)

GIT setup

get your email from here or Settings > Emails

If you have private email then your email will look some thing like this

now type `git config --global user.name "youUserName"`

and type git config --global user.email "yourEmail"

like this

change youUserName to your github user name like git config --global user.name "thelearn-tech" and do same for your email.

Step 5)

Authentication to github with gh

type gh auth login"

github.com

SSH

~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

paste authentication token

Step 6)

clonning the Repository

git clone [email protected]:yourUserName/yourRepo.git [this is SSH clonning]

if you have cloned repository with https [git clone https://github.com/yourUserName/yourRepo]

then before git push you have to specify the remote url with git remote set-url origin [email protected]:username/repo.git, here username/repo.gitis the repo u have cloned

Step 7)

pulling and commiting and pushing

git init

then git pull

git pull before adding or changing any files. It's very important!!

now add file or change existing one as a update.

I added a file called example.txt

now if you do git status then you will see untracked file

adding the file git add example.txt

here example.txt is file name to be added .

To add all files use git add .

. means all files in that directory.

if you do git status now then it will show new file:

now commit with git commit -m "pushing file in cli"

here -m in git commit -m stands for comment like git commit -m "comment"

simple do git push

And done.
