GitHub Local Repository CLI Push Options
----------------------------------------

After creating your GitHub repository and cookiecutter-py3-package,
you have several options to get your package initialised and pushed into
your repository.

.. important::

  Replace `imAsparky/my-new-django.git`
  with `<your-repo-name>/<your-package-name>.git`

.. _git-CLI-push-default:
Using Default Settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you have used the default package creation setting:

.. code-block:: bash

   automatic_set_up_git_and_initial_commit [y]:

Getting ready for your first push to GitHub is quite simple.

You will have a folder structure similar to this.

.. code-block::

    projects
        ├── my-new-django
        └── my_env

.. code-block::

    cd my-new-django

You will have a folder structure similar to this.

.. code-block::

    my-new-django
        ├── .git
        ├── .github
        ├── .pre-commit-config.yaml
        ├── .pyup.yml
        ├── .readthedocs.yaml
        ├── CHANGELOG.md
        ├── LICENSE.rst
        ├── README.rst
        ├── docs
        ├── manage.py
        ├── my_new_django
        └── requirements_dev.txt


Check git status.

.. code-block::

        git status

You will see CLI output similar to this.

.. code-block::

    On branch main
    nothing to commit, working tree clean

Check git reflog.

.. code-block::

    git reflog

You will see CLI output similar to this.

Notice the commit message "chore(git): Initial Commit"

.. code-block::

    b5b47be (HEAD -> main) HEAD@{0}: commit (initial): "chore(git): Initial Commit"


Now you can push your new package to GitHub.

.. code-block::

    git push -u origin main

You will see CLI output similar to this.

.. code-block::

    Counting objects: 100% (48/48), done.

    * [new branch]      main -> main
    Branch 'main' set up to track remote branch 'main' from 'origin'.

Navigate to your GitHub my-new-django repository and it will look
something like this.
