Pushing a project in local file system to Github

I am a bit curious about pushing a locally created folder(project) to Github. Is it possible? Please let me explain what I have already done. I am using Git for Windows on Windows 8.1 64-bit.

Created a new project using init command in the Git local root i.e. projects. Please refer the bash commands and messages below.

$ git init fresh-project Initialized empty Git repository in D:/MyDev/projects/fresh-project/.git/

$ ls fresh-project/

**$ cd fresh-project**
**ls**
```
**$ git status**
```
On branch master

No commits yet

nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track)
```
**Used $ code hipster.txt**
```
To create the file by opening VSCode and added some text.
```
**$ git status**
```
On branch master

No commits yet

Untracked files: (use "git add ..." to include in what will be committed) hipster.txt

nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
**$ git add hipster.txt**
```
**$ git status**
```
On branch master

No commits yet

Changes to be committed: (use "git rm --cached ..." to unstage) new file: hipster.txt
```
**$ git commit**
```

11.

$ git status On branch master nothing to commit, working tree clean

After the 11th step I want to push the whole local repository to Github.com. I haven't created a 
repository in Github with the name of 'fresh-project'.

What else do I have to do to make this to happen?

Thanks and regards, Chiranthaka

Solution

You should have searched on github for this. It's easy all you need to do is first add files and commit then add remote repo url and push to github

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/user/yourremoterepo.git

If you want to create repo using command line you need to use Github api for that You need an access token and curl to POST repo

curl -H "Authorization: token ACCESS_TOKEN" --data '{"name":"Reponame"}' https://api.github.com/user/repos
