How Do I Upload Eclipse Projects to GitHub

Question

I have code in Eclipse that I d like to upload to GitHub but so far I can t figure out how  It says  create a repository  but that looks more like a folder that holds your projects and I m not sure how to upload my code to it  Apologies for the seemingly dumb question  Also  how does one delete repositories  Didn t see a way to do that either

Jokab s answer helped me a lot but in my case I could not push to github until I logged in my github account to my git bash so i ran the following commands  git config credential helper store  then  git push http   github com  user name   repo name  git  After the second command a GUI window appeared  I provided my login credentials and it worked for me

While the EGit plugin for Eclipse is a good option  an even better one would be to learn to use git bash -- i e   git from the command line  It isn t terribly difficult to learn the very basics of git  and it is often very beneficial to understand some basic operations before relying on a GUI to do it for you  But to answer your question  First things first  download git from http   git-scm com   Then go to http   github com  and create an account and repository  On your machine  first you will need to navigate to the project folder using git bash  When you get there you do  git init  which initiates a new git repository in that directory  When you ve done that  you need to register that new repo with a remote  where you ll upload -- push -- your files to   which in this case will be github  This assumes you have already created a github repository  You ll get the correct URL from your repo in GitHub  git remote add origin https   github com  username   reponame  git  You need to add you existing files to your local commit  git add       this adds all the files  Then you need to make an initial commit  so you do  git commit -a -m  quot Initial commit quot    this stages your files locally for commit                                       they haven t actually been pushed yet  Now you ve created a commit in your local repo  but not in the remote one  To put it on the remote  you do the second line you posted  git push -u origin --all

Many of these answers mention how to share the project on Git  which is easy  you just share the code on git  but one thing to take note of is that there is no apparent  project file  that the end user can double click on  Instead you have to use Import- General- Existing project and select the whole folder
