Fatal Error when pushing visual studio project onto github

I'm trying to upload my Visual Studio 2017 MVC Web App onto GitHub using this tutorial: https://www.infragistics.com/community/blogs/dhananjay_kumar/archive/2016/07/21/step-by-step-working-with-github-repository-and-visual-studio-2015.aspx

I've had success with overcoming any bugs along the way but towards the end on the step where he "commits all", I get the error: fatal: unexpected sequence in commit output. I can't think of any reason for this error to be coming up and there's no answers online, the only lead I can come up with is that this web app had a Github repository previously which I deleted.

Extra Information: I also have 2 folders that have something to do with this project: 1 is the Visual Studio solution folder and the other is under my Users/Me/source/repos/(empty) folder which never ended up being used and I don't remember why it was supposed to be made

This could be related to a recently (2 weeks ago, Nov. 2017) fixed bug reported here and in this thread, for Visual Studio 2017 version 15.1, and fixed in the 15.3 release.

As a workaround, see if a git commit -m "fixed bug 1" would work from the command line.
