GITHUB Add Files to Create a New Version Without Deleting Other Files

I need to know on GITHUB, how to add new files, but also have them for another version that's published. And remove other files for that new version, but keep the old version and files. If this is possible, please explain more, even if not possible.

Everything I learned about GITHUB I learned on this thread

Yes this is possible, and how to do it should be apparent once you learn about git branching (and possibly tagging, if that's what you mean by "published");

git checkout -b new_version
git add new_file.txt
git rm other_file.txt
git push origin new_version

Now the new_version branch will have new_file.txt but not other_file.txt, while the master branch will have other_file.txt but not new_file.txt.

Ok. I should clarify. How can you do it in the GUI of GITHUB website. Preferable or second choice from GITHUB Windows app. Or third from windows at all.

Not that I ONLY have and use windows. But the latest development version is only tested there. I use a mix of gcc compatible software based on devcpp based on mingw. Probably needs a clean install...

Best for now to stick with it til next version is ready of language. Have one bug to work out. Keeps passing wrong parameters...

Yeah that's not going to be enough.
Start here:
https://git-scm.com/doc
https://guides.github.com/
Keep in mind thatgithub.com is just one site that let's you create git repositories; in other words, git is the independent software that has nothing to do with github.com.

Have you visited the GitHub site, signed up for a free account, and read their documentation?

All which you're asking about are everyday activities which are very much available via their web portal.

Recommend you read the GitHub Guides (already cited), there are others.

Suggest you not discount the command line as well, but that's your affair.

Well, here's a video on doing branching using the GitHub Windows app...

Branches in GitHub using GitHub Desktop

Not to discount the command line, just don't think it's available in my "current" environment. Signed up, but couldn't find the docs. I'll check the links.

What I really need is a private server with git on it too, but I can't do that right now, as I'm on the first steps to configuring my network right now. What I'm doing here, works just fine for now. The private server would still somehow "sync" to these other servers.

P.S. - Started to read the docs. Going to read more now...

I "think" I understand just enough to proceed with what I was trying to do before, the adding and changing of files. I'll come back here later, for more information. Let me just try what I was trying to do before I mark as solved, but I think I can soon. Would've read the docs if I could've found them before. Maybe I overlooked a few links or something...

Using this knowledge, check out the development release of my app (a language): http://www.github.com/smileynet000/PNF

Figured it out. Closing, but will still read more later.

Uh Oh! No "mark as solved", yes, I checked in thread tools too. This issue "sometimes" seems to happen here.

You don't have that option in General.
