How to Push Code to Github from VS Code

Use this interactive demo to learn how to push your code from Visual Studio Code to a GitHub repository.

‍

These are simple step-by-step ways on how to push code to GitHub from Visual Studio Code using the terminal:

  1. To push code to GitHub from VS Code, connect to a GitHub repository by copying your repo URL from GitHub. (Ensure GitHub is installed or connected in VS Code first.)
  2. Then add it as a remote using git remote add origin <repo-url> in the terminal.
  3. Add and commit changes by running git add . and git commit -m "message" in the terminal, which prepares your changes for pushing to GitHub.
  4. Now push the code by running git branch -M main and git push -u origin main which uploads your changes to GitHub.
  5. If the command runs successfully, you will see this in the terminal (as shown on the demo screen), which means your push was successful in VS Code, and your code is already on GitHub and fully synced.

📌 Why this matters

Pushing code to GitHub creates a permanent backup of your work while enabling collaboration with other developers. You can share projects, receive feedback, and showcase your portfolio to potential employers. Beyond basic version control, this workflow transforms your local development into a professional practice. Every push creates a timestamped history of your progress, making it easy to revert mistakes or track how your coding skills evolve. GitHub becomes your coding resume, demonstrating consistent activity and real projects rather than just claiming you can code.
