Step by Step

Create a repository

In a terminal, enter the following command

gh repo create github-cli

Clone a repository

In a terminal, change directory to where you wish to put the newly created git repository then enter the following command

git clone PUT-LINK-HERE

Note - you can find the link by opening the newly created repository in your internet browser and clicking the green Code button near the top of the page. There is a clipboard icon which will copy the link for you.

Commit to Main

Add a text file into the cloned repository and run the following commands

git add .
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
git push origin main

Commit to Branch

Add another text file into the cloned repository and run the following commands

git checkout -B nonzerodays-branch
git add .
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
git push origin nonzerodays-branch

Create a Pull Request

gh pr create --title "Added text file" --body "It's a non-zero text file"

Merge a Pull Request

In a command prompt enter the following command

gh pr merge nonzerodays-branch --squash

Typically, I delete the branch after completing a pull request.

Congratulations on a non-zero day!
