Beginner's Guide: How to Push Your First Local Project to GitHub Using Git

A step-by-step tutorial published on DEV Community walks beginners through setting up Git and pushing a local project to GitHub for the first time. The guide covers installing and configuring Git, generating an SSH key, and linking it to a GitHub account to enable secure authentication. Users are then shown how to create a local project folder, add files, and make an initial commit using standard Git commands. The final steps involve creating a new GitHub repository and connecting it to the local project via a remote URL. The author uses a Kenya health records analysis project as a practical example throughout the walkthrough.
