Adding a file to a repository

Adding a file to a repository on GitHub Enterprise Server

Files that you add to a repository via a browser are limited to 25 MB per file. You can add larger files, up to 100 MB each, via the command line. For more information, see "Adding a file to a repository using the command line." To add files larger than 100 MB, you must use Git Large File Storage. For more information, see "About large files on GitHub Enterprise Server."

1. On your GitHub Enterprise Server instance, navigate to the main page of the repository.
2. Above the list of files, using the Add file drop-down, click Upload files.
3. Drag and drop the file or folder you'd like to upload to your repository onto the file tree.
4. 在页面底部，输入一条简短、有意义的提交消息，描述您对文件所作的更改。 您可以在提交消息中将提交归于多个作者。 有关详细信息，请参阅“创建具有多个共同作者的提交”。
5. 在提交消息字段下面，确定是要将提交添� 到当前分支还是新分支。 如果当前分支是默认分支，则应选择为提交创建新分支，然后创建拉取请求。 有关详细信息，请参阅“创建新的拉取请求”。
6. Click Commit changes.

Adding a file to a repository using the command line

You can upload an existing file to a repository on your GitHub Enterprise Server instance using the command line.

此过程假设您已经：

• 在 GitHub Enterprise Server 上创建一个存储库，或者有一个� 要参与的由其他人所拥有的现有仓库。
• 在计算机上本地克隆存储库

1. On your computer, move the file you'd like to upload to GitHub Enterprise Server into the local directory that was created when you cloned the repository.
2. 打开终端终端Git Bash。
3. 将当前工作目录更改为您的本地仓库。
4. 将要提交的文件暂存到本地仓库。

   $ git add .
   # Adds the file to your local repository and stages it for commit. 若要取消暂存文件，请使用“git reset HEAD YOUR-FILE”。

5. 提交暂存在本地仓库中的文件。

   $ git commit -m "Add existing file"
   # Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository. 要� 除此提交并修改文件，请使用 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' 并再次提交和添� 文件。

6. Push the changes in your local repository to your GitHub Enterprise Server instance.

   $ git push origin YOUR_BRANCH
   # Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin
