To push your local Git repository to GitHub, follow these steps:

1. **Navigate to the Local Repository**: Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory of your local Git repository using the `cd` command.

2. **Check Remote Repository**: Ensure that you have set up the remote repository on GitHub. You can check the configured remotes using the following command:

git remote -v
This command lists the remote repositories associated with your local repository. You should see an entry for the GitHub repository.

If you haven't set up a remote repository, you can add it using the following command:

git remote add origin <repository-url>
Replace `<repository-url>` with the URL of the GitHub repository.

3. **Commit Your Changes**: Before pushing your changes, you need to commit them. Use the following commands to stage and commit your changes:

- `git add <file1> <file2> ...`: Stage the changes you want to include in the commit.
- `git commit -m "Commit message"`: Create a commit with a descriptive message explaining the changes.

4. **Push Changes to GitHub**: Once you have committed your changes, you can push them to the GitHub repository using the following command:

git push origin <branch-name>
Replace `<branch-name>` with the branch you want to push the changes to (e.g., `main` or `master`).

Git will upload your local commits to the corresponding branch on GitHub, making your changes available to others who have access to the repository.

5. **Verify Changes on GitHub**: Visit the GitHub repository's page in your web browser and navigate to the branch you pushed your changes to. You should see the updates reflected in the repository's files.

By following these steps, you can push your local Git repository to GitHub, making your changes available to others and ensuring that your code is backed up on a remote server. It's good practice to commit and push changes regularly to keep your code up to date and collaborate effectively with others.
