Need help with Git

It amazes that some of the smartest people in the world can build the least intuitive file system I have ever used.

Really starting to hate GitHub.

I was trying to take a project I made in Thimble and turn it into a repo.

I was able to drag and drop into Git Desktop.

I then hit sync or publish.

Next I went to githb.com to see my newly created repo. I got the message I needed a readme.md, a license.md, and gitignore.md. Given that the docuementation for gitignore files was too complex to figure out I just added the other two files.

Yet when I look at my repo I do not see the files I added through gitdesktop.

What the heck am I doing wrong? Should I not use Git desktop? Is there a better way to add files to a repo?

i never used the github desktop application but i think that you need the press the Sync button of the specific repo.
The screen is for Syllabus and edu307class so what is the repo to sync?

You’re pushing ot ‘Syllabus’ not ‘edu307class’; try looking in Syllabus?

Thanks all I got the syllabus one pushed correctly.

But when I try to publish the edu307 class I get a warning message:

“edu307class has been updated on
https://github.com/jgmac1106/edu307class.git since you last synced. You can
try syncing again or run git pull origin master && git push origin master
from the command line.”

but I can’t find the sync button anywhere. I think I will just go back to
emailing people files when they want stuff.

Probably there are not new files or change in that repo.
