Confused about git integration in Visual Studio Code

In Visual Studio Code, I clicked on something to link my project to git, now it says "master" in the bottom left but I don't know where the repository is, physically.

Then I created my repository on github. Say my user is mygitusername and my project is myprojectname.

I made a bunch of changes in vs code and actually did a commit in vs code. It took them but I don't know where they went.

Now I want to see my code on github, but I don't know how to get it up there.

See, it won't run this in VS code and I don't know how / where to run this:

git remote add origin https://github.com/mygitusername/myprojectname.git
git push -u origin master

I'm not saying it runs it and gives an error; I'm saying I can't find anything that will accept this command.

The physical repository was created locally in the project's folder.

To be able to enter git commands open the Visual Studio Code Integrated Terminal (View | Toggle Integrated Terminal) and type the first command to add the remote repository (also called upstream).

git remote add origin https://github.com/mygitusername/myprojectname.git

Make sure to properly replace the mygitusername and myprojectname parts.

After you do that you can use the VS Code GUI to fetch/pull/push as well.
