First, create a new repository on GitHub and clone it to your computer. Then, simply copy your existing project files into the cloned folder, commit the changes, and push them back to GitHub.

To link a new Git branch to your remote GitHub or GitLab repo, you must use the 'set upstream' Git push command. This walkthrough shows you how.

Fill in the required details under Create a new repository. For this example, we’ll name the repository twc-merge-demo. Check the box to add a README file. Click Create repository.
