Create the new repository that we want to populate and start using (e.g. “homesite”)

Now we will prepare and upload the source tree to the repository. On the local computer enter the directory where the sources are and execute:

Create in the root of the source tree a .gitignore file and add all the files and folders that need to be excluded from the upload to the repositories.

git init
git switch -c main
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"

git remote add origin http://192.168.178.96:3000/git-admin/homesite.git
git push -u origin main

• git init: will prepare local repository by creating the .git directory
• git switch: will create the main branch and switches the local repo to it.
• git add README.md
