36,222 PointsAre you referring to a git repository? Basically this, but don't just copy paste. Read the link below for a better understanding: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
First navigate to the correct folder, initialize it as a git repository (git init), add some files (git add .), and then commit them (git commit -m "initial commit").
