Hi I'm really confused about this situation.
Here is the img
What is the meaning of the icon in front of the champ and cham_teleop icon?
I cannot open them on github and I cannot commit any changes I made in those two repos.
I'm always new to GitHub and not too familiar using this tool for nearly 2 years.
Any help?
Check if it is a gitlink, that is a nested Git repository folder.
That happens when you add a folder which has its own .git subfolder: the parent rpeository record that folder, but not its content (since it is a Git repository)

I'm trying to push my xamarin forms project to github .
I've tried the regular method following the github instruction & using command line but xamarin forms project usually are big in size so that it won't be pushed throw the CMD and it recommends the Git LFS instead.
however, I found that we can push the project to github
https://devlinduldulao.pro/how-to-use-git-and-github-in-xamarin-development/
using the GitHub Extension for Visual Studio and I have installed it but the second step is to add the solution to source control.
but I cannot find the latter option in my menu
so can anyone help me with this problem, all I need to do is to push my project to github if there any other option than the one I have provided in the article above please mention it.
thanks in advance.
If its trying to push a lot, then you are missing a .gitignore file. Put this in the root folder of your solution.
Here is a github list of useful gitignore files.
A good one to use for this purpose is VisualStudio.gitignore.
At minimum, have these lines in your .gitignore file:
[Bb]in/
[Oo]bj/
.vs/
bin and obj are the main folders containing results of building. These are re-creatable from source files, so should not be in repo.
.vs is where visual studio keeps all its user-specific files (such as .suo).
This question seems to be more a git problem than a Xamarin problem. Xamarin.Forms projects aren't bigger than other projects - but you have to ensure you excluded all the build output from the beginning (using a .gitignore-file for .NET projects) - otherwise you commit binaries and your nuget-feed.
Seeing this menu structure, it seems, you already are working with git (at least with a local repo without remote). So you should check your git repo settings and add github as remote: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/version-control/git-settings?view=vs-2022
I uploaded my files to github, checked off readme, commit changes, selected masterbranch, and I got the following message as I scrolled down the page: Your site is published at https://tanishav842.github.io/Recipes/ but there is nothing there except for the word Recipes, which appears at the end of the site address that had been established for me through github. What did I do wrong?
Well, Tani, to have your own page hosted by GitHub Pages it need to be stored in one of the following places
In a public repository named <your-github-username>.github.io
Under a docs folder in master branch of any public repository you own
In gh-pages branch of any public repository you own
It means your Recipes repository are pretty much there.
Just copy your master branch content to a new branch named gh-pages and push it:
git checkout -b gh-pages
git push -u origin gh-pages
In addiction, as commented Edric, it would be cool to have your pretty nice stuff added to your page.
By now, I suppose GitHub is using your README.md that just have the word Recipes there!
Anyways, Here you can find a bunch of details about Working with GitHub Pages and also some step-by-step tutorials to learn how to do it properly
Hope this can help you!
Hosting a site is better supported by the GitHub application. Try following these steps to see if they help:
Download either GitHub for Mac or GitHub for Windows, depending on your operating system. Open the app and log in using the account you just created.
(On Mac): After you login, click advanced and make sure that your name and email are correct. Then, click "Install Command Line Tools", just in case you want to start using the command line later in life.
Create a new repository in your GitHub application. Name it your-username.github.io. The name is very important. Note the folder that GitHub is saving the repository to. Make sure the "Push to GitHub?" box is checked.
Move your website's files into the folder that GitHub just created when you made the repository. IMPORTANT: Your homepage HTML file must be called "index.html", and it must exist in the top-level directory.
Back in the GitHub application, you should see your files in the left column. Make sure they are all checked. If so, enter a message in the text box called "commit summary", something like "initial commit." Then, click the commit button.
Click the "Publish repo" button in the top right corner.
Give it about 10 minutes, then check your-username.github.io. Your website should be there!

see the Git Ignore option in the below image.What I have to choose, I am creating an ionic-framework repository.
https://i.stack.imgur.com/pBvkd.png
.gitignore is a file which, Git uses to determine which files and directories to ignore, before you make a commit. These files/directories will not be pushed into the repository.
If you have any files or directories that don't need to be pushed into the repository, then you can include them. (a simple example : log files)
If there is no ionic option, you can ignore it, and create it locally on your repo, then push it back to your GitHub repo.
To create it, see https://www.gitignore.io/api/ionic3
It does generate an Ionic .gitignore for you.
I have multiple repositories under my account, and I placed a folder into the incorrect repo.
Is there a way use the GitHub web interface to move that folder from one repo to another?
From GitHub GUI alone, I don't think so.
You can delete files from the web GUI, but you still need to push your folder content from a local cloned repo (the right one this time)
Note: even if GitHub GUI referred to GitHub Desktop, you would still need to push.
I am new to git. I downloaded the desktop version (for Windows). I dragged the folder containing my project into the big window, "Get started by adding a repository." All the files showed up in the left window. Then I clicked on "Publish Repository". It then shows 143 files have changed, with 0 unsynced.
But when I go to my account on the git website, the repository is empty. The only files in it are .gitattributes and .gitignore. The whole idea here is that I want to share this project with other people.
Help out a git newbie and explain how I get the entire solution into git?
Thanks!
As you already have the remote repository at GitHub, you should use the clone option first to clone your repository locally.
This will create a folder (your repository clone) on the default location containing those two files.
Then you can copy your project files to this folder and try to sync again.
