For Linux and MacOS users     First make the repository  Name RepositoryName  on github  Open the terminal and make the new directory  mkdir NewDirectory   Copy your ProjectFolder to this NewDirectory  Change the present work directory to NewDirectory  Run these commands   git init git add ProjectFolderName git commit -m  first commit  git remote add origin https   github com YourGithubUsername RepositoryName git git push -u origin master

You can add files using git add  example git add README  git add  lt folder gt     or even git add    Then use git commit -m   lt Message gt   to commit files  Finally git push -u origin master to push files   When you make modifications run git status which gives you the list of files modified  add them using git add   for everything or you can specify each file individually  then git commit -m  lt message gt  and finally  git push -u origin master  Example - say you created a file README  running git status gives you    git status   On branch master   Untracked files       use  git add  lt file gt      to include in what will be committed        README   Run git add README  the files are staged for committing  Then run git status again  it should give you - the files have been added and ready for committing     git status   On branch master   Changes to be committed       use  git reset HEAD  lt file gt      to unstage        new file    README    nothing added to commit but untracked files present  use  git add  to track    Then run git commit -m  Added README     git commit -m  Added README   master 6402a2e  Added README   0 files changed  0 insertions     0 deletions -    create mode 100644 README   Finally  git push -u origin master to push the remote branch master for the repository origin     git push -u origin master Counting objects  4  done  Delta compression using up to 2 threads  Compressing objects  100   2 2   done  Writing objects  100   3 3   267 bytes  done  Total 3  delta 1   reused 0  delta 0  To xxx xxx com xxx xxx git    292c57a  6402a2e  master - gt  master Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin    The files have been pushed successfully to the remote repository   Running a git pull origin master to ensure you have absorbed any upstream changes    git pull origin master remote  Counting objects  12  done  remote  Compressing objects  100   4 4   done  remote  Total 8  delta 4   reused 7  delta 3  Unpacking objects  100   8 8   done  From xxx com xxx xxx    branch            master     - gt  FETCH HEAD Updating e0ef362  6402a2e Fast-forward  public javascript xxx js      5   ---  1 files changed  2 insertions     3 deletions -   create mode 100644 README   If you do not want to merge the upstream changes with your local repository  run git fetch to fetch the changes and then git merge to merge the changes  git pull is just a combination of fetch and merge   I have personally used gitimmersion - http   gitimmersion com  to get upto curve on git  its a step-by-step guide  if you need some documentation and help

Note that since early December 2012  you can create new files directly from GitHub        ProTip     You can pre-fill the filename field using just the URL    Typing  filename yournewfile txt at the end of the URL will pre-fill the filename field with the name yournewfile txt

When adding a directory to github check that the directory does not contain a  git file using  ls -a  if it does remove it   git files in a directory will cause problems when you are trying to add a that directory in git

If you want to add an empty folder you can add a   keep  file in your folder   This is because git does not care about folders

You need to checkout the repository onto your local machine  Then you can change that folder on your local machine   git commit -am  added files    That command will commit all files to the repo   git push origin master   that will push all changes in your master branch  which I assume is the one you re using  to the remote repository origin  in this case github
