How to submit code to github?

Question

I have looked all over the place, but I can’t find a way to send the code to GitHub. I tried to create a repository, but then it tells me that I need to load the command line?

Why can't I just send the code directly to it? Is there another way?

Answer 1

If you're just looking for a way to post code on the Internet, then you can use another function of this site: gists ".

If you are on a mac, then there is another application that you can use (made by the GitHub guys) .

But the most important component of the software is what you call the "command line", which is a version control application with a relatively steep learning curve called GIT .

In the final note, you may not understand that GitHub is useful and it might be better to look at something less complicated. If you want to explain exactly what you are looking for, I'm sure the StackOverflow community will want to help you :)

Answer 2

You can use github gist . Although the highlight of using github is the separation of git repositories.

Answer 3

While GitHub recently added limited support for editing files via a web interface, it was intended to host software projects using Git version control software. The most used interface is the git command-line tool, although many IDEs have graphical interfaces such as TortoiseGit as well as Git.

If all you are looking for is a place to put small snippets of code to send to others (like pastebin), then you probably want instead of Gists: http://gist.github.com/

Answer 4

Github is the code location for Git .

The "command line" is most likely Git. If you are not using Git, it is unlikely that you want Github either.

Fortunately, there are graphical Git front ends such as SmartGit .
