To add Python files to a new repository in GitHub, you first need to create a new repository on GitHub's website. Once the repository is created, you can clone it to your local machine using the Git command line or a GUI client.
After cloning the repository, you can add your Python files to the local directory that corresponds to the repository. You can create new Python files or copy existing ones into this directory.
Next, you need to stage the files using the git add command, commit the changes using the git commit command with a descriptive message, and push the changes to the remote repository using the git push command.
Make sure to set the correct remote repository URL using the git remote add origin command if you haven't already done so.
Once the files are pushed to the remote repository on GitHub, you can view them on the repository's page and manage them using the web interface.
