How to sync Workspaces with Github

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to sync my Workspaces with Github but it is not working. I have created a project a commited to Github. Later I have made changes to the HTML and I tried to sync the changes but it is not working. I had to create a new repository.

I watched the Github workshop and I noticed that the teacher's Workspace was synced to to the Githib account. How do I do that so I can record changes without creating new repository.

Thanks

Was the github repo already in existence before the workspace?

No. I am a Techdegree student and I was following along the Project 1 for the Front End Development Track. I created my Github account and loaded the first draft of project 1. A few days later, I made some changes to the HTML and CSS and wanted to load the changes but I could not sync to the same repository. I ended up creating two repositories. I named the second Project 1 V2.

But for future reference I want to make sure that I can sync the changes directly to the same repository.

Any suggestions?

something like this in workspaces terminal should work for an existing github repo:

git init
git add .
git commit -m 'initial commit'
git remote add origin https://github.com/me/my-repo.git
git push -u origin master
