Push all from desktop to online? #23719
-
324/5000 Hello, In github desktop I have several local files (800 files) that I would like to push to my main branch in github. I find to send them one after the other but I can’t find how to send everything at once … Is this possible? And how can I do it? Thank you for your help. |

Hello @thierry-laval, welcome to the GitHub Support Community! You said you’re using GitHub Desktop, correct? To add multiple files:
Depending on the size of the files, it could take a little while to complete the task. Also, if you need any help with the steps above, please see this page on contributing with GitHub Desktop. |

On 3, yes but how ? When I want to commit all my files I have to commit them one after one first! I have 800 files! How to commit directly with ALL my files? Without description… :slight_smile: |

Hmm… that’s the odd thing, the steps I provided above should do the trick. Are you copying all of these 800 files into your repository’s directory at once? For example, I’ve copied the folder “lessons” (which has 800+ files) into my GitHub Page’s repo. These files show up in the changes column for review. To commit the files, I need only include a summary and then I can commit them, and finally push the changes to GitHub. To commit all the files at once, make sure to click the checkbox next to “N changed files” until every file is checked. See Committing and reviewing changes to your project for more information. |

You’re welcome! Yes, it is indeed something easy to miss. It’s optional for single file changes, however, when committing multiple files you need to include a summary. Went ahead and updated my earlier post with that info. As for learning all the basics for GitHub Desktop, you may want to look through the documentation below as it should include everything you need to know. |
