Steps to Create a Git Repository
Create an empty repository in your GitHub account. You can leave readme and license which can be added later.
Suppose you have a project folder DEMO in your linux PC, Open the command line inside the folder DEMO and follow the below commands.
Initialise your local folder as Git repo
git init -b main
Add the files in your new local repository
git add .
Commit the files
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
Copy the repo URL
It would be something like this https://github.com/user/demo.git
Set the Git repo
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/demo.git
Verifies the Git repo
git remote -v
Push local repo to Git
git push origin master
Set remote repo to local repo
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git

git branch
List all branches in repo
git branch -a
