pushing xamarin forms project to Github

abanoub adly 41

I'm trying to push my xamarin forms project to github . I've tried the regular method following the github instruction & using command line but xamarin forms project usually are big in size so that it won't be pushed throw the CMD and it recommends the Git LFS instead. however, I found that we can push the project to github
how-to-use-git-and-github-in-xamarin-development

using the GitHub Extension for Visual Studio and I have installed it but the second step is to add the solution to source control. but I cannot find the latter option in my menu.

so can anyone help me with this problem, all I need to do is to push my project to github if there any other option than the one I have provided in the article above please mention it. thanks in advance.

Firstly, your link cannot be opened and get 404 error.

Based on your screenshot, your project was published to Github and have a repository. Then you make some changes in your project, you want to commit your new code, am I right? If so, you can try to click te commit or stash.. function. Then enter a message in the message box, click the commit all.

xamarin forms project usually are big in size so that it won't be pushed throw the CMD and it recommends the Git LFS instead.

You can open your project folder, delete all of bin and obj folders. then push your project.
