What is Clone/Push in Github
Once you created Repository and have done your part of the analysis or coding, the cloning process will help the 2nd developer to copy your work and add more analysis or changes to the existing code in his local environment, and create a version of the changes and later merge with the main document. This post will help to Create/Clone/Push Github Repository.

Once cloning is done, the 2nd developer can create a branch and work on the same repository and later push to the branch and ask for a pull request to merge it with the main copy. I hope the process is clear now. Refer to the Previous Github Tutorials here.

Step 7: Click and open as shown above.
Step 8: I have already added the data source file to the Data folder and created a new .ipynb file. So you don’t have to worry about it. Open Happiness_Analysis.ipnyb file

How to push Github Repository?
Step 10: Once the work is done click on save and open cmd/ terminal
Step 11: Initially when I was creating the repo I used Git add * to add all files in one go.
If you are committing for the first time adding a file in this way you may ask to enter your GitHub email id and username to proceed. The screenshot will be the same as below. and then while you enter the push command it will ask you browser prompt to sign in to Github.
git config --global user.email "Enter your github Email"
git config --global user.name "Github username"
If you are changing only the .ipnyb file just add that file
git add "Happiness_Analysis.ipynb" //This is my File name git commit -m "Give some meaning ful comments" git push origin main
FINAL VERDICT :
