Question

I clone my repository with:

But after I change some files and add and commit them,

Answer 1

In my case, I forgot to include the .gitignore file. Here are all the steps required:

1. Create an empty Git repository on remote,
2. On local create the .gitignore file for your project. GitHub gives you a list of examples here

3. Launch a terminal, and in your project do the following commands:

   git remote add origin YOUR/ORIGIN.git
   
   git add .
   
   git commit -m "initial commit or whatever message for first commit"
   
   git push -u origin master
