Question

I created an account at github.com and im very new to git. I have ubuntu and have a web folder in htdocs. I want to be able to commit any changes and show up in github repository which i created. When i try

 git commit {github url} 

it does not show up on the github website. I know i first need to push the folder to git but when i try to push nothing happens.

I followed some tutorial to set up the git on my computer and i think it worked since it created .git folder.

Any help would be appreciated or a link to a good git/github configuration tutorial.

Assuming you have already created an empty repository on github, you need to use git push origin to push your commits to github after you added github as origin:

git add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git

You can also check the remotes you have by:

git remote -v
