Using Terminal Commands

By default, the terminal is available as the Terminal tab in the bottom layout of the goormIDE interface. To open it in a new window, go to [Window] > [New Terminal Window] or press the default shortcut Alt + Shift + T (Mac: ⌥⇧T).

Enter the commands in the terminal in the following order:

• Initialize Git

  git init

• Add Remote Repository

  git remote add origin <repository-URL>

• Stage and Commit Changes

  git add .
  git commit -m "Backup: YYYY-MM-DD"

• Push to Remote Repository

  git push -u origin main

  (If your default branch is master, replace main with master.)
