I have customer api, product api in my local. I just created my GitHub account.

Now I want to
move my api's to GitHub. give me step by step process.

Please go through all the steps as there are issues faced with the procedure.

Got it! Since you have your APIs in your local environment and just created your GitHub
account, you’ll need to move them to GitHub using Git. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Install Git (If Not Already Installed)

 Check if Git is installed by running:

 git --version

 If not installed, download it from Git and install it.

Step 2: Create a GitHub Repository

1. Log in to your GitHub account.

2. Click on New repository.

3. Name it something meaningful (e.g., customer-api or product-api).

4. Choose Public or Private, depending on your preference.

5. Click Create repository.

6. Copy the repository URL (it will look like [Link]

[Link]).

Step 3: Initialize Git in Your Local API Project

1. Open a terminal and navigate to your project directory (e.g., your customer API
folder):

2. cd /path/to/customer-api

3. Initialize Git inside your project:

4. git init

Step 4: Add and Commit Your Files

1. Add all files to Git:

2. git add .

3. Commit your changes with a message:

4. git commit -m "Initial commit of Customer API"

Step 5: Link Your Project to GitHub

 1. Add GitHub as your remote repository:

2. git remote add origin <your-repo-URL>

3. Push your project to GitHub:

4. git push -u origin master

Step 6: Repeat for Product API

Follow the same steps for your product-api folder.

Step 7: Verify on GitHub

 Go to your GitHub repository and check if your files are uploaded correctly!

Now, your APIs are stored safely in GitHub. 🎉

Let me know if you need any help along the way!

"git commit -m "Initial commit of Customer API" during commit I got below error Author
identity unknown

*** Please tell me who you are.

Run

git config --global [Link] "you@[Link]" git config --global [Link] "Your Name"

to set your account's default identity. Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.

Ah, that error happens because Git doesn't know who you are yet! You need to configure
your username and email before making commits.

Solution: Set Your Identity in Git

Run the following commands in your terminal, replacing the placeholders with your actual
GitHub name and email:

git config --global [Link] "Your GitHub Name"

git config --global [Link] "your-email@[Link]"

If you only want to set it for this specific repository, remove --global, like this:

git config [Link] "Your GitHub Name"

git config [Link] "your-email@[Link]"

Verify Your Configuration

Once done, you can check if the settings are saved by running:

git config --list

After setting up your identity, try committing again:

git commit -m "Initial commit of Customer API"

This should work smoothly now! Let me know if you hit any more roadblocks.

remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for

'[Link]

It looks like GitHub is rejecting your credentials when you try to push your code. This usually
happens if your username or password isn't correct, or if GitHub has changed its
authentication method. Let's fix it! 🚀

Possible Solutions

✅ Solution 1: Use a Personal Access Token Instead of a Password

GitHub no longer allows passwords for authentication when pushing code. You need to
generate a Personal Access Token (PAT) instead:

1. Go to GitHub Tokens.

2. Click Generate new token (classic).

3. Select repo permissions.

4. Copy the token (you won’t see it again).

Now, when Git asks for a password, use this token instead.

✅ Solution 2: Check Your Username & Remote URL

Run:

git remote -v

Ensure your remote URL is correct (it should be

[Link] If needed, update it:

git remote set-url origin [Link]

✅ Solution 3: Try SSH Authentication

If you don’t want to use a token, you can use SSH:

1. Run ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your-email@[Link]".

2. Add the public key to GitHub under Settings → SSH and GPG keys.

3. Test connection with:

 4. ssh -T git@[Link]

Try these out and let me know what works! 🚀

Connect Your Project to Git in STS

1. Right-click on your project → Team → Share Project.

2. Select Git and click Next.

3. Choose Use or Create a Repository (select your local .git folder).

4. Click Finish, and now you should see Git options!

Great! Since you've already successfully exported your Customer API, the steps for your
Product API will be almost the same. Here’s what you need to do:

Steps to Export Your Second API (Product API) to GitHub

🔹 Step 1: Navigate to Your Project Folder

Open your terminal and move to your Product API directory:

cd /path/to/product-api

🔹 Step 2: Initialize Git (If Not Already Initialized)

If Git isn’t already set up in this project, run:

git init

🔹 Step 3: Configure Your Identity (If Needed)

If you haven’t set up Git globally, configure your identity:

git config --global [Link] "Your GitHub Name"

git config --global [Link] "your-email@[Link]"

🔹 Step 4: Create a GitHub Repository

1. Log into GitHub.

2. Click New Repository.

3. Name it something relevant, like product-api.

4. Copy the SSH Repository URL (e.g., git@[Link]:bhargavvangara/product-

[Link]).

🔹 Step 5: Link the Local Project to GitHub

Add GitHub as the remote repository:

git remote add origin git@[Link]:bhargavvangara/[Link]

🔹 Step 6: Add & Commit Files

1. Add all files:

2. git add .

3. Commit with a meaningful message:

4. git commit -m "Initial commit of Product API"

🔹 Step 7: Push the Code to GitHub

Upload your code using SSH:

git push -u origin master

🔹 Step 8: Verify on GitHub

Go to GitHub, open your product-api repository, and check if all files were uploaded
correctly!

Now your Product API is successfully exported! 🚀 Let me know if anything comes up.
