Help Please!
i am getting this error after pushing the project to github

Everything up-to-date

GitHub CLI already seems to do everything for us, aside from creating the folder. (since we wouldn't be able to cd to it before running gh repo) Only thing I haven't figured out is how to initialize the repository without a gitignore.

[alias]
create = !git init && gh repo create $2 --public -y

To work around to automate the first commit, I also added -u origin HEAD to my current push alias

[alias]
ps = !git push -u origin HEAD && git push --tags

To sum it up:

mkdir [repo]
cd [repo]
git create [repo]
git add .
git commit -m "commit_message"
git ps

It'd also be great if someone found a good license gen cli. Basically I generated it using GitHub CLI simply by using -l mit, but that creates our first commit already. (which wouldn't be ideal if you want a .gitignore but not one of the premade ones)

GitHub Licenses API?
It's not a CLI proper but has a lot of potential for getting the license data into the terminal.

this should help github documentaion

you need to install “gh”, the doc has explained it pretty well.

But doesn't this add an extra 'master' branch instead of pushing to 'main' branch?

No.

git push -u origin master is now git push -u origin main

Thanks. Commentary or links on why this change was made would be helpful.

This happened when i tried " git push -u origin main " from my terminal on my PC

Tip, using git push -u origin HEAD automates the command to use whichever local branch you're currently in. Also yeah, it's what the error says. For developers, if you are using a password to authenticate Git operations with GitHub.com today, you must begin using a personal access token over HTTPS (recommended) or SSH key by August 13, 2021, to avoid disruption. If you receive a warning that you are using an outdated third-party integration, you should update your client to the latest version. You need to create and use a PAT as stated and linked in the article.

I'm a developer. I am trying to do a git push for the first time in several years and am curious to see if this is going to be a blocker for me.

Thanks! The date was helpful.

@codewizard13 in reference to the default branch name change, it remains a controversial topic, but here is a fairly unopinionated synopsis.

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Tried many other suggestions before this one. Thanks again.

I have a question, we need to create a repo on github first, then only we can push our repo? Can we not directly push a repo to our profile and it creates the repo from the folder name?

Just one note: if the repository doesn't exist in Github, first you will have to create it: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-new-repository/

i saw that vs code does it for you without us having to go to github to create one first

Alternatively, if you prefer to do this stuff from your CLI, you can install github for your terminal and then is as simple as typing: gh repo create your_repo

Hello, The command 'gh repo create your_repo' is showing invalid

Thanks looks good 👍👍
