🚀 How to Push to GitHub

Prerequisites

You need GitHub authentication configured. Choose one method:

Method 1: SSH Keys (Recommended)

  1. Generate SSH key (if you don't have one):

    ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"

  2. Add to SSH agent:

    eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

  3. Add public key to GitHub:

    • Go to GitHub Settings → SSH and GPG keys
    • Click "New SSH key"
    • Paste content of ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

  4. Update remote (in WriteupForge folder):

    git remote set-url origin git@github.com:thehusnain/writeupforge.git

  5. Push:

    git push origin main

Method 2: Personal Access Token

  1. Create token on GitHub:

    • Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens
    • Click "Generate new token"
    • Select repo scope
    • Copy the token

  2. Push (when prompted for password, paste token):

    git push origin main

Method 3: Store Credentials (Git Credential Helper)

# Configure git to use credential helper
git config --global credential.helper store

# Try to push (will ask for credentials once, then saves them)
git push origin main

git push origin v1.1.0
  • Create GitHub release from tag with CHANGELOG.md content
