🚀 Git Setup & Repository Upload Guide

Step 1: Install Git (If Not Installed)

Download Git for Windows

  1. Go to: https://git-scm.com/download/windows
  2. Download the installer
  3. Run the installer (use default settings)

Step 3: Clean Your GitHub Repository

    • Commit the deletion
  3. Upload new README.md:
    • Click "Add file" → "Upload files"
    • Drag README.md from this project
    • Commit the changes

Option B: Via Git Command Line (After Installing Git)

# Navigate to your project
cd "C:\Cursor Projects\apollo\apollo-email-scraper-main"

# Initialize git (if not already)
git init

# Add your remote repository
git remote add origin https://github.com/abdulwasay8126/apollo-2.0.git

# Create a new branch
git checkout -b main

# Stage only README first
git add README.md

# Commit
git commit -m "Initial commit: Add comprehensive README"
