Create a local folder * On your **Desktop**, create a new folder named: `task3-yourName` #### 2. Create a file * Inside the folder, create a file named `README.md` * Add the following content: ```md My name is: ``` #### 3. Create a GitHub repository * Go to the Team organization * Create a new private repository * Use the same name as your folder: ``` task3-yourName ``` #### 4. Push your first commit * Initialize Git locally * Add the file * Commit your changes * Push the project to the GitHub repository {% hint style="info" %} 💡 Only committed changes are pushed to GitHub. {% endhint %} #### 5. Make a second change * After the first push: * Create a new file named `index.js` * The file can be empty * Add, commit, and push this change again ### ✅ Expected result * Repo exists on GitHub * Both files are visible: * `README.md` * `index.js` * Commit history shows **2 commit** ### 🧠 What you will learn * How to initialize a Git repository * The basic Git workflow: * add → commit → push * The difference between local files and GitHub (remote)

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.elorabiabderraouf.dev/documentation/git-github/tasks/basic-workflow-task.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
