You want to push both main and dev branches to a new GitHub repository, where your current

code is in the dev branch locally. Follow these steps:

1. Create a New Repository on GitHub


1. Go to GitHub.
2. Click the + icon at the top right and select New repository.
3. Fill out the repository details:

· Repository Name: Name your repository.


· Visibility: Choose Public or Private.
· Initialize Repository: Do not check "Add a README."

4. Click Create Repository.

2. Set Up Your Local Repository


1. Open a terminal or command prompt.
2. Navigate to your local project folder containing the code:
cd /path/to/your/folder

3. If not already done, initialize your local repository:


git init

3. Ensure Your Code is in the dev Branch Locally


1. If you're currently on the dev branch, verify with:
git branch

2.
3. If dev is listed and highlighted, you're already on it.
4. If not, create and switch to the dev branch:
git checkout -b dev

4. Add and Commit Your Code


1. Add all files to the staging area:
git add .

2. Commit the changes:


git commit -m "Initial commit on dev branch"
5. Link to the GitHub Repository
1. Copy the repository URL from the new GitHub repo (e.g.,
https://github.com/username/repo-name.git).
2. Add the remote origin:
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repo-name.git

6. Push Both Branches to GitHub


1. Push the dev branch:
git push -u origin dev

2. Create and push the main branch:


git checkout -b main # Switch to main git push -u origin main

7. Verify Both Branches on GitHub


1. Go to your GitHub repository page.
2. Use the branch dropdown to ensure both main and dev branches exist.
