How to Upload a Folder to Your GitHub Repository on Android Using Termux

Recommended Apps to Download:

• Termux
• Material Files (for easy access to copy file paths)

---

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Grant Storage Access to Termux

   Before anything else, run the following command in Termux to allow it to access your device’s storage:

   termux-setup-storage
   

   Confirm the storage permission prompt.

---

2. Install Git and GitHub CLI

   pkg install git gh
   

---

3. Log in to GitHub

   gh auth login
   

   Follow the on-screen prompts. If you have 2FA enabled, enter your verification code when asked.

---

4. Navigate to Your Folder

   Use the cd command to move into the folder you want to upload:

   cd /path/to/folder
   

   (Tip: Use Material Files to get the exact folder path.)

---

5. Initialize a Git Repository

   git init
   

---

6. Add Files to the Repository

   git add .
   

---

7. Commit the Changes

   git commit -m "Initial commit"
   

   (You can replace "Initial commit" with any custom message.)

---

8. Create or Use a GitHub Repository

   Go to GitHub and create a new repository, or use an existing one.

---

9. Set the Remote Repository

   Copy the HTTPS or SSH URL of your GitHub repo, then run:

   git remote add origin <YOUR-REPO-URL>
   

   Replace <YOUR-REPO-URL> with your actual repo URL.

---

10. Push Your Files to GitHub

git push -u origin main

If you get this error:

error: src refspec main does not match any

Run this command first:

git checkout -b main

Then push again.

---

You're Done!

Your folder and its contents should now be uploaded to your GitHub repository. Check GitHub via your browser to confirm.
