Showing and Uploading Tasks to Your GitHub Repository

1. Access Your GitHub Repository:

2. Create a New Branch (Optional):

It's a good practice to create a new branch for each task or feature to keep your changes separate from the main branch (usually named "main" or "master"). To create a new branch:
Click on the dropdown that displays the current branch (usually "main").
Type a branch name related to the task, e.g., "task-update-CV."
Click the "Create branch" button.

3. Upload Files for Each Task:

For each task, create a dedicated folder or directory within your repository to keep everything organized. You can name these folders based on the task or use a naming convention that makes sense to you.
Inside each task folder, upload the relevant files. For example, for the "CV Update on Kickresume.com" task, you might have a folder named "task-update-CV" and upload your updated CV document there.
Similarly, create folders and upload files for other tasks, keeping each task's content separate.

4. Commit Changes:

After uploading files for a task, you need to commit your changes. Here's how to do it:
On your repository's main page, click the "Add file" button.
Choose "Upload files" from the dropdown menu.
Drag and drop the files from your computer or use the file selector to locate and select the files you want to upload.
In the "Commit changes" section, provide a clear and concise commit message describing the task or changes made.
If you're working in a new branch, make sure the branch you created earlier is selected.

5. Commit to the New Branch (If Applicable):

If you created a new branch for the task, ensure that your commit is made to that branch. This helps in keeping changes organized.

6. Repeat for Each Task:

Follow the same process for each task, creating a dedicated folder for it, uploading relevant files, and committing the changes.

7. Push Your Changes:

After committing changes for all tasks or each task, it's time to push your changes to the remote repository. To do this:
Click the "Commit changes" button.
If you're working in a new branch, GitHub will provide a link to create a pull request. Follow this link to create a pull request for your changes to be merged into the main branch when they are reviewed.

8. Review Your Work (Optional):

You can review your changes on the GitHub website by navigating to your repository and selecting the branch or pull request you've created. This allows you to ensure that everything is uploaded correctly.

9. Submit the Pull Request (If Applicable):

If you worked in a new branch, create a pull request for your changes to be reviewed and merged into the main branch.
Provide any necessary comments or explanations in the pull request description.

10. Confirmation:

Once your pull request is reviewed and approved by the relevant team members, your changes will be merged into the main branch.

By following these steps, you can effectively show and upload all the tasks given to your GitHub repository, ensuring that your work is well-organized and ready for review and collaboration with your team.
