Copy all your files into the directory
-
Zip each file and remove the original files so only zip files are in the directory

Initialize the local repo
git init
- Add all the files into the local repo
git add .

git commit -m "Add files"

git push -u origin main

If you do not wish all UBA users to be able to access your repository, you can make your repository private. But, in order for you to access it, you will need to setup a personal access token.
