how do I link github and Rstudio when I see Untracked files?

I am new in github. I want to use version control and create GitHub repository and clone one in my Rstudio, so I did following steps in terminal ( MAC): 1. pwd /Users/wulingqi

  1. cd ~/Documents/R/temporary

  2. git commit -m "initial commit" Now, I can not create new file but get this: On branch master Initial commit Untracked files: .Rhistory .Rproj.user/ nothing added to commit but untracked files present

  3. And then I paste code from GitHub website, paste and refresh, but no change in the website: git remote add origin https://github.com/lingqi-w/temporary.git git push -u origin master

Could someone give me some advice on this? Thank you.

If you use the terminal, you need to stage the files you want to commit. This holds for both untracked and modified files. You can stage files by using:

git add [path_to_file]

Use git add . to add all files in your current directory and its subdirectories or use git add src/file* to add all files that have a path that start with src/file*

After that you have staged the files you want to commit, you can retry to use:

git commit -m "initial commit"

If you then want to push to github you can use:

git push origin master
