1. Initialize git in the directory
2. Configure your credentials
3. Add the Gitea remote
4. Add all files
5. Create a commit
6. Push to Gitea

🔐 Authentication

When prompted, enter:

• Username: jessikitty
• Password: Your Gitea password or personal access token

If You Don't Have a Token

1. Go to: https://gitea.hideawaygaming.com.au/user/settings/applications
2. Click "Generate New Token"
3. Name it: "Family Hub CLI"
4. Click "Generate Token"
5. Copy the token (save it somewhere safe!)
6. Use this token instead of your password

⚠️ Common Issues

Issue 1: "Remote repository already has commits"

Solution: Pull first, then push

cd D:\Hosted\familyhub
git pull origin main --allow-unrelated-histories
git push origin main

Issue 2: "Authentication failed"

Solution: Use a personal access token instead of password

1. Generate token (see above)
2. Use token as password when prompted

Issue 3: "Already exists" error for remote

Solution: Update remote URL

cd D:\Hosted\familyhub
git remote set-url origin https://gitea.hideawaygaming.com.au/jessikitty/family-hub.git
git push origin main

Issue 4: Want to overwrite remote completely

Solution: Force push (CAUTION!)

cd D:\Hosted\familyhub
git push origin main --force

⚠️ WARNING: Force push will overwrite any commits in Gitea!
