First of all create a repository on github. And then on your local computer initialize git if you are on Linux (ubuntu to be precise) navigate to your project folder and run 

git init

it will show an output about initialized a working directory or something like that. Navigate to .git folder and edit config file with your favorite editor, the content looks like the following

[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
url = https://[email protected]/your-user-name/your-repository.git
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master

after modifying this file navigate back to your project root folder and run 

git add .
git commit -m 'first commit'
git push origin master

now login to your server via putty or any ssh client you use navigate to your project root folder initialize git by 

git init

navigate to .git folder and edit the config file paste the same code you pasted on your local machine and then navigate back to your project root folder(on server) run 

git pull origin master

You are in sync now. No anytime you make any changes to your localhost you should perform following commands from your project root folder

git add .
git commit -m 'any custom message about these changes'
git push origin master

and from your server

git pull origin master

Never make any changes on your development server in ANY CASE. you should add the files you want to ignore while upload and download in the .gitignore file under your project root in your localhost. e.g to exclude a folder from uploaded add following in your .gitignore file

/foldername/*

Maybe git-ftp is something for you.

You can use git-ftp for script based projects like PHP. Most of the low-cost web hosting companies do not provide SSH or git support, but only FTP.

Git-ftp provides an easy way to deploy git tracked projects. Instead of transferring the whole project, it only transfers the files that changed since the last time.

Even if you are playing with different branches, git-ftp knows which files are different. No ordinary FTP client can do that.
