You need to create a git repo locally  add your project files to that repo  commit them to the local repo  and then sync that repo to your repo on github   You can find good instructions on how to do the latter bit on github  and the former should be easy to do with the software you ve downloaded

Well  there really is a lot to this  I m assuming you have an account on http   github com   If not  go get one   After that  you really can just follow their guide  its very simple and easy and the explanation is much more clear than mine  http   help github com     http   help github com mac-set-up-git   To answer your specific question  You upload files to github through the git push command after you have added your files you needed through git add  files  and commmited them git commit -m  my commit messsage

I didn t find the above answers sufficiently explicit  and it took me some time to figure it out for myself  The most useful page I found was  http   www lockergnome com web 2011 12 13 how-to-use-github-to-contribute-to-open-source-projects   I m on a Unix box  using the command line  I expect this will all work on a Mac command line   Mac or Window GUI looks to be available at desktop github com but I haven t tested this  and don t know how transferable this will be to the GUI    Step 1  Create a Github account Step 2  Create a new repository  typically with a README and LICENCE file created in the process  Step 3  Install  git  software    Links in answers above and online help at github should suffice to do these steps  so I don t provide detailed instructions   Step 4  Tell git who you are   git config --global user name   lt NAME gt   git config --global user email   lt email gt     I think the e-mail must be one of the addresses you have associated with the github account  I used the same name as I used in github  but I think  not sure  that this is not required  Optionally you can add caching of credentials  so you don t need to type in your github account name and password so often  https   help github com articles caching-your-github-password-in-git   Create and navigate to some top level working directory   mkdir  lt working gt  cd  lt working gt    Import the nearly empty repository from github   git clone https   github com  lt user gt   lt repository gt    This might ask for credentials  if github repository is not  public    Move to directory  and see what we ve done   cd  lt repository gt  ls -a git remote -v    The  ls  and  git remote  commands are optional  they just show you stuff  Copy the 10000 files and millions of lines of code that you want to put in the repository   cp -R  lt path gt  src   git status -s    assuming everything you want is under a directory named  src     The second command again is optional and just shows you stuff   Add all the files you just copied to git  and optionally admire the the results   git add src git status -s   Commit all the changes   git commit -m   lt commit comment gt     Push the changes  git push origin master    Origin  is an alias for your github repository which was automatically set up by the  git clone  command   master  is the branch you are pushing to  Go look at github in your browser and you should see all the files have been added   Optionally remove the directory you did all this in  to reclaim disk space   cd    rm -r  lt working gt

To upload files to your repo without using the command-line  simply type this after your repository name in the browser   https   github com yourname yourrepositoryname upload master  and then drag and drop your files  provided you are on github and the repository has been created beforehand
