How to add my current project to an already existing GitHub repository

Question

I\'m very new to Git. I\'ve been searching for an answer, but I couldn\'t find one.

In my computer I have a project folder like this:

project_a
--some_fo         


        

Answer 1

I had more luck with navigating in my terminal to the directory I wanted to add to the repository, then (assuming you're working on a branch called master):

    git init
    git add .
    git commit -m "my commit"
    git remote add origin 
    git push origin master

Here's a link to an article explaining how to do it in more detail: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/

Note that you won't be able to run the "git add ." line if the directory in question is open.
