Question

I have java project using Eclipse. I created an account and repository in github and try to synchronise this repo with my project. But when i try to add or clone the rpo in gitHub desktop app it doesn't see my project structure. what should i do?

Answer 1

Once you created the repository on github, you have to add that remote into your repository.

git remote add origin git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY

after that, you can

git push origin master

and see that your project is now updated

Answer 2

Did you get any error messages?

It should be pretty straightforward using the command line. From the directory where you want to clone the repo,

git clone http://repo-url.git should take care of it.
