Using Github from command line
This assumes that you have all the permissions needed to access your repo, (passwords and so on).
Start Git Shell and navigate to your local repo.
Create a branch
git checkout -b <branch-name>
git push <remote-name> <branch-name>
In the case of github the remote name is ‘origin’
Add your changes to the branch
git add .
The ‘.’ means ‘everything’ that was changed.
You can use ‘status’ to check what needs to be staged, (or what has been staged).
git status
Commit branch
git commit -m "You message here"
Push branch
The first time you need to tell where you are pushing this to.
git push --set-upstream <remote-name> <branch-name>
The afterwards you just need to do…
git push
Delete your branch
To remotely delete it
git push <remote-name> --delete <branch-name>
To locally delete it
git branch --delete <branch-name>
