After git push origin main, nothing happens

Question

I am trying to upload a project which has more than 100 files to github.

These are my steps which GitHub wants me to do on Git Bash terminal.

cd <my project file>

git init -b main

git add .

git commit -m "First Commit"

git remote add origin <my remote URL>

git remote -v

git push origin main

After I press "enter", nothing happens on terminal screen. I also tried to "git clone" and copied the local files but it didn't work though.

How can I solve this problem? What am I doing wrong? I am new in Git.

I believe that you're stuck in an authentication request point. IE, because you're using git over https it needs your github username and password. Because you're on a windows mingw64 system, its unclear what would be prompting for that password. But you should either get a graphical or a textual account login screen, and you're not seeing it. This is what you need to figure out. Or better, switch to using a ssh based login by generating ssh keys and putting the public key in your github account.
