πŸš€ GitHub PUBLICATION GUIDE

Publish Your AI Academic Document Suite to Public GitHub


🎯 WHAT YOU'RE DOING

Currently:

  • βœ… Project on HuggingFace Spaces (private/deployment)
  • βž• Adding: GitHub Public Repository (open source, showcase)

Result: Your code visible to everyone, great for SLIIT project visibility!


πŸ“‹ STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

STEP 1: Create GitHub Repository

  1. Go to GitHub: https://github.com/new

  2. Fill in details:

    • Repository name: campus-Me (or ai-academic-document-suite)
    • Description: "AI-powered academic document generation suite for SLIIT research projects"
    • Public: βœ… YES (make it public)
    • Add README: βœ… YES
    • Add .gitignore: βœ… YES (Python)
    • License: βœ… MIT (recommended for open source)
  3. Click: "Create repository"

Result: You now have an empty GitHub repo!


STEP 2: Connect Local Project to GitHub

In PowerShell, in your project directory:

# Navigate to project
cd c:\Users\User\Desktop\campus-Me

# Check current remote (HuggingFace)
git remote -v

# You'll see:
# origin  https://huggingface.co/spaces/Mithun-999/campus-Me

# Add GitHub as new remote
git remote add github https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/campus-Me.git

# Verify both remotes exist
git remote -v

# You should see:
# origin    https://huggingface.co/spaces/Mithun-999/campus-Me
# github    https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/campus-Me.git

Replace YOUR_USERNAME with your actual GitHub username!


STEP 3: Push to GitHub

# Push all commits to GitHub
git push github main

# If asked for credentials:
# - Username: Your GitHub username
# - Password: Your GitHub personal access token

Or setup SSH for easier pushing (see below)


STEP 4: Verify on GitHub

  1. Go to: https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/campus-Me
  2. You should see all your files and commit history!

πŸ”‘ SETUP GITHUB CREDENTIALS (Easier)

Option A: Use Personal Access Token (Recommended)

  1. Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens
  2. Click: "Generate new token" β†’ "Generate new token (classic)"
  3. Configure:
    • Token name: campus-me-push
    • Expiration: 90 days (or your preference)
    • Select scopes:
      • βœ… repo (full control of private repositories)
      • βœ… workflow (update GitHub Actions)
  4. Click: "Generate token"
  5. Copy the token (you won't see it again!)

Store it somewhere safe!


Option B: Use SSH (More Secure)

# Generate SSH key
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your.email@example.com"

# When asked for file location, press Enter (use default)
# When asked for passphrase, press Enter (or set one)

# Add SSH key to GitHub Agent
ssh-add C:\Users\User\.ssh\id_ed25519

# Get public key
cat C:\Users\User\.ssh\id_ed25519.pub
# Copy the output

On GitHub:

  1. Go to: https://github.com/settings/ssh/new
  2. Paste your public key
  3. Click "Add SSH key"

πŸ“ PROJECT STRUCTURE FOR GITHUB

Your current structure is already great! Add these for GitHub:

## πŸ”„ **SYNC BETWEEN HUGGINGFACE AND GITHUB**

**Now you have TWO remotes:**

```powershell
# Push to BOTH at once:
git push origin main  # HuggingFace
git push github main  # GitHub

# Or create an alias for convenience:
git remote add all
git config url."https://huggingface.co/spaces/Mithun-999/campus-Me".pushUrl
git config url."https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/campus-Me".pushUrl

# Then push to both:
# git push all main

Or push to each separately:

# Push to GitHub
git push github main

# Push to HuggingFace  
git push origin main

πŸ“ CREATE .gitignore

Add this file to ignore unnecessary files:

# Python
__pycache__/
*.py[cod]
*$py.class
*.so
.Python
env/
venv/
ENV/
build/
develop-eggs/

🏷️ ADD TOPICS/TAGS

On GitHub, add topics for discoverability:

  1. Go to your repo settings
  2. Scroll to "Topics"
  3. Add these tags:
    • academic-writing
    • document-generation
    • ai
    • python
    • gradio
    • research
    • sliit
    • education

πŸ†˜ TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: "Permission denied (publickey)"

Solution: Make sure SSH key is added to GitHub or use HTTPS with token

Problem: "Already have a remote 'origin'"

Solution: Rename HuggingFace remote:

git remote rename origin huggingface
git remote add github https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/campus-Me.git

Problem: "Can't push to GitHub"

Solution: Check credentials, use token instead of password
