Push committed files to GitHub

Question

I have repository in GitHub. I edited files in my PC, committed them and now I want to push these files to GitHub. How can I do it?

Answer 1

If the files are already cloned from a github repository git push will do it.

cd /path/to/repo
git push

If this local repo does not belong to any github repo, create a repository in github. This will give you a git repo url like git://github.com/username/project.git. Now you need to add this url as remote to your existing local repository

cd /path/to/repo
git remote add origin git://github.com/username/project.git

Then you can commit your changes and push it

git push

Answer 2

Go to github and create a repository under your account (if you haven't already). If you've done that, follow the instructions for pushing code from an already existing repository.
