To commit your code you need to run three steps:
Step 1 - Select which files (. means "all").
git add .Step 2 - Name the commit.
git commit -m "description of changes"Step 3 - Send the changes to GitHub.
git pushIf it's your first push ever, you may need to do some things to configure your environment. The most common is this:
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"Be sure to replace the email and name with your email and your name.
If it's your first push on a specific project, you may need to specify which branch to push to.
git push --set-upstream origin masterAt any time, you can see how things are going by typing git status.
