Follow this:

Your Identity

Set your user name and email address (Like facebook, treehouse and so on) - you should have Github user to work with github. Let's imagine this is your user name and email:

git config --global user.name "John Doe"

git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

Create a folder

Later we push this folder to Github repository (mkdir = make directory)

mkdir helloWorld

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mkdir

Move files

The destiny folder url: /helloWorld

You are now in the root folder (/) ==> mv (short for move) - from this-loaction to "helloWorld"

mv *py helloWorld

Go to helloWorld folder (cd = change directory).

cd helloWorld

Next run ls to get (ls = list computer files).

ls

You should get the list of files:

lumberjack.py  number_game.py
