Question

I've done 1-2, and I've tracked the file in 3. I do not understand how to "register our file (in git bash) to our local repository history, before sychronizing our local history with the Github remote repositry".
We're doing this with a Git Bash and we have a git hub repostriy set up. Clear commands as an example would be apperciated. Again:
1) How to register our file in local repository history
2) Syncing local history with Github remote repositry

1. Create a new file with your text editor. 2. Save the file with the name, README.md. 3. Tell Git to track the neW README. md file, register it as part of our local repository history, before finally synchronizing our local history with the GitHub remote repository.

Explanation / Answer

I have demonstrated all the steps and posted the output from git bash also

before creating README.md can check the status about files

$git status

On branch master

Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.

(use "git push" to publish your local commits)

nothing to commit, working tree clean

step 1 and 2

creating the readme.md file

$vim README.md

$

now if you check the status you will get 1 untracked file that is not added to git repository

$git status

On branch master

Untracked files:

(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

README.md

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

step 3

now git add will staged the new file repository for tracking

git add <FILENAME>

$git add README.md

now file has been staged

now if you check the git status you will get mesage like new file : <name of file>

$git status

On branch master

Changes to be committed:

(use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

new file: README.md

now che need to recored so git commit will do it

it generated a commit id that is unique now file has been added lo local repository

$git commit -m "added readme"

[master bb1a2bb] added readme

1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)

create mode 100644 README.md

$

now for saving the same changes to remote repository we need to push local changes to remote server

it can be done by command

git push <REMOTE NAME> <name of branch>

$

$git push origin master
