Initialize Git:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial project setup"

# Create a new repository on GitHub

Go to github.com and log in
Click the "+" button in the top right
Select "New repository"
Name your repository (e.g., "setup_best_practice_python")
Don't initialize with README (since you already have a local repo)
Click "Create repository"

# If you're using HTTPS:
# Replace YOUR-USERNAME and YOUR-REPOSITORY-NAME with your actual GitHub username and repository name
git remote add origin https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY-NAME.git

# Verify the remote was added correctly
git remote -v

# Push your code to GitHub (if your main branch is called "main")
git push -u origin main

# OR if your main branch is called "master"
git push -u origin master

# If you prefer using SSH (make sure you have SSH keys set up):
# Replace YOUR-USERNAME and YOUR-REPOSITORY-NAME with your actual GitHub username and repository name
git remote add origin [email protected]:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY-NAME.git

# Verify the remote was added correctly
git remote -v

# Push your code
git push -u origin main  # or master

# After this, for future changes you can simply use:
git add .
git commit -m "Your commit message"
git push

# The -u flag in the first push sets up tracking, so you won't need to specify origin main in future pushes.
# git remote -v 
# Remove the existing remote origin
git remote remove origin

# Add your new remote origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/Andhar7/python_setup.git

# Verify the new remote was added correctly
git remote -v
# After this, you should be able to push your code to the new repository:
git push -u origin main  # or 'master' if that's your branch name

Remember:

Always activate venv before installing packages
Keep requirements.txt updated
Never commit .env files or venv directory
Use .env.example for environment variable templates
