Git Workflow Documentation

This document outlines the steps to initialize a Git repository, link it to a remote GitHub repository, and push changes.

Steps to Set Up Git and Push to GitHub

1. Initialize the Git repository

If you haven't already, initialize a new Git repository in your project directory:

git init

2 Add the remote origin (GitHub repository)

Link your local Git repository to the remote GitHub repository. Replace https://github.com/repo with your actual GitHub repository URL:

git remote add origin <https://github.com/repo>

3. Verify the remote repository

To verify that the remote repository has been added successfully, use the following command:

git remote -v

4. Stage all files for commit

Stage all modified or newly added files in your repository:

git add .

5. Commit your changes

Commit your staged changes with a meaningful message. For example:

git commit -m "Save all the files"

6. Push changes to the remote repository

Finally, push your changes to the main branch on GitHub:

git push origin main

Example:

# Clone your repository
git clone https://github.com/Hatimloha/Terraform-Learn.git
cd Terraform-Learn

# Add the remote for the other repository
git remote add terraform-zero-to-hero https://github.com/iam-veeramalla/terraform-zero-to-hero.git

# Fetch the contents
git fetch terraform-zero-to-hero

# Merge the content from the other repo's main branch
git merge terraform-zero-to-hero/main

# Push the changes
git push origin main
