how to upload (commit) my first project to git hub from xcode

Question

I started commiting my project to github.

For that I created an account in github with email and password.

Then on the console I did inital stuff:

• cd project
• git init .
• git add .
• git commit -s

-> I did not commit (stopped without comment), because I expected to enter a password.

In Xcode I committed one file for testing, but I was supriced why I was not asked for a password. In the logs I see that it was published with a user, that I don't know : user@users-Mac.local

So I don't know where the file is published now for public !

Then I changed my name and email as follow:

• xcrun git config --global user.name 'xxxxx'
• xcrun git config --global user.email 'yyyyy'

But still I don't have to provide a password and I guess it is not working properly with my account.

Can anyone help me out ?

Getting code onto GitHub has two main steps:

• git commit your changes
• git push to GitHub

Nothing's asking you for a password when you commit, because that's still totally local to your machine. Only when you push will you need to authenticate with GitHub.
