I assume you are on a windows system like me and have GIT installed. You can either run these commands by simple command prompt in the project directory or you can also use GitBash.

Step 1: Create a repository in GIT manually. Give it whatever name you seem fit.

Step 2: Come to your local project directory. If you want to publish your code to this new repository you just created make sure that in the projects root directory there is no folder name .git, if there is delete it. Run command git init

Step 3: Run command git add .

step 4: Run command git commit -m YourCommitName

Step 5: Run command git remote add YourRepositoryName https://github.com/YourUserName/YourRepositoryName.git

Step 6: Run Command git push --set-upstream YourRepositoryName master --force

Please note that I am using the latest version of GIT at the time of writing. Also note that I did not specify any particular branch to push the code into so it went to master. In step 6 the GIT will ask you to authorize the command by asking you to enter username and password in a popup window.

Hope my answer helped.
