Create a new repository on Github (should we have a template???) # Standard Files ## README.md Add a README.md file and fill it in. This file will be rendered on the first page of your github project page. It should contain all the information required for someone to make use of your project. The file is a text file with [Markdown](https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax) formatting. ## .gitignore This file is used to identify the types of files that are likely to be in the project folder, that you DO NOT want to be included in version control. These are things like the .DS_Store files that macOS creates, or .venv folder for python virtual environments. # Transferring projects over to the EI account - On the Github website for the project. - Go to the Settings section. - Scroll to the bottom of the page to the "Dangerous Section" - Select "Transfer Ownership" This should move the repository in Github over to the EI account. They you need to change the url for the remote within your own local repository. To check the existing remote settings ```bash git remote -v ``` To change them ```bash git remote set-url origin https://gitlab.com/KodeKloud/repository-1.git ``` https://kodekloud.com/blog/change-remote-origin-in-git/#:~:text=To%20change%20the%20remote%20origin%20URL%2C%20use%20the%20git%20remote,URL%20or%20an%20SSH%20URL.
