FAQ

Q: Do I need to create a GitHub repository first?

A: Yes! Create an empty repository on GitHub first, then use ProjectLaunch to push your code.

Q: What if I already have a git repository?

A: No problem! ProjectLaunch will detect it and just push your changes.

Q: Can I use this for private repositories?

A: Yes! Just make sure you're logged into GitHub on your system.

Q: What if the push fails?

A: ProjectLaunch will automatically try force push. Make sure:

• Git is installed

Real-World Examples

# You just finished your college project
cd final-year-project
pl push -r https://github.com/student123/final-year-project -m "Completed project"

---

Example 2: Quick Prototype

# You built a quick prototype and want to share it
cd prototype-app
pl push
# Enter repo URL and message when prompted

Example 3: Daily Updates

# End of day, pushing your work
cd work-project
pl push -r https://github.com/company/work-project -m "Day 5: Implemented login feature"

Tips & Best Practices

1. Use descriptive commit messages

   • Bad: "update"
   • Good: "Added user authentication feature"

2. Push regularly

   • Don't wait until the end of the project
   • Push after completing each feature

3. Check your files

   • Make sure you're not pushing sensitive data (passwords, API keys)
   • Use .gitignore to exclude unnecessary files

4. Create a .gitignore file

   # Common files to ignore
   __pycache__/
   *.pyc
   .env
   node_modules/
   .DS_Store
