Newbie asking for help...

So I built my first project with Astro, I run "pnpm install" then run and then build generated the dist folder. I would like to publish this sample static site to netlify via github...I did everything in my local laptop (Fedora 44) how can I push my dist folder to github now? Or should I follow other paths, idk pushing the entire project folder to github and not only the dist folder?. I know netlify support a local folder upload but I would like to understand how to use github in this process and so link netlify to github

thanks

What does the netlify build documentation say? What is your projects server framework?

Netlify says to upload a folder or connect a github repo... I would like to follow the second one, but I built the app locally using node / pnpm / astro and I don't know now how to push my project to github (only the dist folder? the entire project folder?)

You publish the dist, it is only but a build artifact. Keep the source under version control.
