Answer 1

I found that stimulating an update in "natural" sequence was an easier route than force-pushing things.

Supposing that the repo is already created on github and you may have also put some stuff into the README.md .

1. On your computer, open terminal and git clone [repo URL]

2. You'll see a new folder will have been created bearing your repo's name. Feel free to rename it - doesn't matter.

3. Move your code, files etc into this folder. Edit the README.md if you have to.

4. Now open Terminal / command prompt, get inside that folder and do things as if you are making the next update to the repo:

git add .
git commit -m "v2"
git push origin master

Note: at the commit command git may reject, asking to configure the user email and password first. Follow the steps as given on screen, then run the commit command again.

5. And those three commands is what you do now onwards for every time you want to push another update.
