Commiting only stores the changes on the local machine, in order to send the data to github you need to use: $ git push

If the push fails then you haven't created and cloned the repository correctly. In order to do it correctly you first need to create a new repository on github, and then clone the repository to your computer. After this you make changes and Commit and then Push the changes to github.
