Trouble Pushing to Git- Can't find respository

Hi All,

I am wrapping up the 'adding interactivity' section of the treebook project. I am having trouble pushing the changes I've made to the front end back to git hub. I didn't do a clone, because I am only working with myself. So, I am not sure if the pushing process will be the same as in the instruction video. In any case, when I go to push the files back up, I can't find the repository. I called the repository 'treebook'. In the instructions they have us push to origin. Github says that the repository doesn't exist. I'm I doing something blatantly wrong?

Ossian-MacDonalds-MacBook-Pro:treebook Ossian$ Ossian-MacDonalds-MacBook-Pro:treebook Ossian$ git push -u origin master fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Ossian-MacDonalds-MacBook-Pro:treebook Ossian$ git push -u origin master fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Ossian-MacDonalds-MacBook-Pro:treebook Ossian$ git push -u treebook master fatal: 'treebook' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Ossian-MacDonalds-MacBook-Pro:treebook Ossian$

Cheers!

Maybe. you have to provide the path to your repository first using this command 

git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/test.git

of course you have to edit the path to match your username and your repository name

THEN you call the push command

git push -u origin master

But after you set the origin and push the first time every time after that you just use 

  git push
