Committing existing project to git and github

Question

I have a fairly large android studio project and I now want to commit the entire project to git and then to github but I'm stuck! I know how to add a file to the staging area and committing it or committing all modified files but how do I commit an entire project to git instead of committing files singly?

Thank you for your help in advance! :)

Answer 1

1. Create your repository on github
2. Init (locally) your repository by typing in your terminal git init (you should change your working directory to project main folder)
3. Perform a git add .
4. Perform your first commit git commit -m "First project commit"
5. Tell git where your remote repository is and what's the source name git remote add origin <remote repository url provided by github>
6. Push your branch on remote git push -u origin master
