### Initiate Git repository

1. You will want to navigate to the directory where your `resources`folder is located.
2. You will then want to type `git init`&#x20;
3. You will then type `git add .`
4. You will then type `git commit` and enter a message for the commit (maybe `Initial Commit`?)
5. You will now need to create a remote repository to link this local repository up to.

### Connect to Remote

1. Within your git bash terminal you will run the following as GitHub has instructed you to

```
git remote add origin https://github.com/JaredScar/CollectiveM-Server.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
```

2. This will push the changes in your current local branch to the remote branch

### Using GitHub Desktop
