I know there are hundreds of tutorials out there on this, but I couldn't figure where to start. I am using a MAC and am on a remote system which runs Ubuntu 14.04. What I want to do is upload folders to my organization's github repository. There already exists a repo, and I want to create a branch and upload my files and folders in that branch.
I tried doing
git branch branch_name
git checkout branch_name
However the branch does not show up on the webpage. I also tried creating a branch from the webpage, but I dont know how to upload files to it. I am also not sure how to actually navigate to the repository to which I want to upload.
Please give me instructions as to how I could go about doing this.
Thank you!
