How to Connect a Local Git Project to GitHub Using SSH and Push Code

A developer walkthrough explains the end-to-end process of taking a local project folder and publishing it to GitHub using Git and SSH authentication. Git is described as a local version-control tool that tracks code changes, while GitHub serves as the online platform for storing and sharing repositories. The guide covers initialising a Git repository, generating an SSH key pair, and adding the public key to a GitHub account to enable secure communication. Once the remote repository is created on GitHub, the local project is linked to it using the 'git remote add origin' command. Files are then staged, committed, and pushed to make the code available online.
