pushing changes to git

I need to commit my changes (new files) to the existing master branch. However, end up creating a new branch

I have a directory structure on git as 

master -> Projects -> Proj1 -> folder1

I do a 

git clone

git branch master
git checkout master

I add new folders to Proj 1.

Local git structure becomes

master -> Projects -> Proj1 -> folder1 -> folder2 -> file1
                                                  -> file2

Now i do a

git add 
git commit -m ""

When i do a git push origin Projects, it creates a new branch Projects

master -> Projects -> Proj1 -> folder1 -> folder2 -> file1
                                                  -> file2
Projects -> Proj1 -> folder1 -> folder2 -> file1
                                        -> file2

How can i prevent creating a new branch?

will git push origin master do the trick?

You should do git push origin master, or just git push. In general, git push takes the form git push <remote> <branch>.

If you want push your changes into branch master you must do

git push origin master

Because name after origin is the name of your branch you want to push. So if you doing git push origin Projects You are pushing to branch "Projects" If You want add new file to project You must do

git add filename
git commit -am "new filename"
git push origin master
