How to Push Code from VS Code to GitHub (2026 Beginner Guide)

This GitHub tutorial for beginners will take you from a local project to a professional, online portfolio. In the last video, we learned Git, and now we'll connect it to GitHub, the most important website for any developer.

In this video, I’ll walk you through exactly how to push code from VS Code to GitHub without ever leaving your editor. We’re skipping the slow drag-and-drop methods and using the VS Code Integrated Terminal—the exact workflow professional developers use every day. Whether you are looking to upload your first project, build your portfolio, or just back up your work, this step-by-step Git tutorial for beginners will help you master the essential commands (git add, commit, push) and get your code online in minutes.


This is the exact workflow pros use to back up their code and collaborate. In this GitHub tutorial, we'll cover creating a repository, setting up a secure SSH key for your Mac, and pushing your first project to the cloud.

This is Video #3 in our complete, FREE A-Z Python for AI course.
