title: Commits pushed to Github through Github Desktop App(Windows) not showing up
body: <p>I created two repositories through the Github website about a couple of hours ago. Then I went to the Github Desktop App, and made many commits to each of those two repositories. The process I had followed was:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Create repository on Github website</li>
  <li>Go to Github Desktop App, and hit "clone" for the selected repository</li>
  <li>The repository was cloned to a "Github" folder in "Documents"</li>
  <li>Then I copied over my code files to each of the repository folders (through Windows explorer)</li>
  <li>In the Github Desktop App, I automatically got the "x uncommited changes" for the number of files I had copied over.</li>
  <li>I added a message in the "summary" and "description" section, and clicked on the "Commit" button at the end, and a blue check mark appeared.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>However, now that I'm on another (ubuntu) computer and wanted to clone the 2 repositories on this, it appears that none of my commits were ever pushed to Github. The Github website also just shows the 2 repositores I had created at the very beginning, intialized with a readme.md. There's nothing else.</p>
  
  <p>What went wrong?</p>
