How to upload only source files to github?

I have project written in python which i would like to upload to my github repo. In my source directory in laptop, there are other compiled python scripts (.pyc) residing as well which i would like to avoid uploading to github. The documentation avaiable on the internet shows uploading entire source directory to github repo.

Is there a way to avoid uploading certain file type, specifically *.pyc, to github repo?

Make a .gitignore file and add *.pyc to it

I recommend you put this standard .gitignore for python by github It has *.py[cod] to get rid of .pyc,.pyo and .pyd files

When you upload you files to github only what is in your git repo gets uploaded. pyc files should not have been added to your git repo anyways. If you did, remove them before pushing your repository.

You can use the .gitignore files to not let pyc files show up in your git status view.

This is the intent of the .gitignore file

For your specific problem, you should add *.pyc to this file.
