How to sync a v0 project with GitHub?

 
Step 1: Create an empty GitHub repository
 

  • Open your web browser and go to github.com. Sign in if necessary.
  • Click the New button next to your repositories list or navigate to https://github.com/new.
  • Fill in the repository name (for example, my-v0-project), add an optional description, choose Public or Private, and do not check “Add a README,” “.gitignore,” or “license.”
  • Click Create repository. You will see instructions for pushing an existing repository from the command line.

 
Step 2: Initialize your local v0 project as a Git repository
 

  • Open a terminal or command prompt on your computer.
  • Navigate to the root folder of your existing v0 project.

cd /path/to/your/v0-project
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit of v0 project"

 
Step 3: Add the GitHub repository as a remote origin
 

  • Copy the repository URL from GitHub (either HTTPS or SSH).
  • In your terminal, link your local repo to the remote repository.

git remote add origin https://github.com/your-username/my-v0-project.git

 
Step 4: Rename your default branch to main (if needed)
 

  • Ensure your local branch is named main to match GitHub’s default.

git branch -M main

 
Step 5: Push your v0 project to GitHub for the first time
 

  • Push your commits and set origin/main as the upstream branch.

git push -u origin main

 
Step 6: Confirm the sync on GitHub
 

  • Refresh your repository page on GitHub to see all files and commits.
  • Verify that the main branch is selected and that your initial commit is visible.

 
Step 7: Keep your local and GitHub repositories in sync
 

  • After making changes locally, stage and commit them:

git add .
git commit -m "Describe your changes"
  • Push new commits to GitHub:

git push
  • Before you start working, fetch and merge upstream changes from GitHub:

git pull

Rapid Dev was an exceptional project management organization and the best development collaborators I've had the pleasure of working with. They do complex work on extremely fast timelines and effectively manage the testing and pre-launch process to deliver the best possible product. I'm extremely impressed with their execution ability.
