# How To Upload Your React Projects To Github In 6 Easy Steps

Have you ever had to copy and paste from folder to folder when you uploading your projects to Github? There's nothing to be ashamed of, I used to do this (before). Is it efficient?

How about this? Follow me as I show you 7 easy steps to upload your react projects(or any project at all) to Github.


> Note: 
1. If it's a react project, make sure to have created your react project with preferred Toolchain(e.g Create-react-app or NextJs).
2. Create a repository with your intended project name

## From the terminal/Command line, move into your project folder.
If your projects is the Documents folder, enter

```
> cd Documents/project-folder
```

## Enter "git init".
 
```> git init```

## Enter "git add . or git add -A"
```> git add .```

## Enter "git commit -m "first commit".
```> git commit -m "first commit"```

## Enter "git remote add origin https://github.com/username/reponame.git"
The dummy URL is the URL to your git repository which you can copy from github.

```> git remote add origin https://github.com/username/reponame.git```

## Enter "git push -u origin master".
```> git push -u origin master```

Woo hoo! You've uploaded your project to github in just a few minutes.
