title: How to create a local repository and upload to repository on GitHub?
body: <p>I just started using GitHub and I'm just looking for simple and straightforward set of steps to upload a project on my local machine to a repository I created on the GitHub website.</p>
  
  <p>I tried this method from a previous question here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12799719/how-to-upload-a-project-to-github">How to upload a project to Github</a> but when I get to the last step <code>git push origin master</code> I get these errors <code>fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.</code> I don't understand why this is happening as I'm following the instructions to the letter.</p>
  
  <p>This is how I execute the upload from creation of local repository to push:</p>
  
  <pre><code>cd C:\Users\Brian Smith\Documents\Visual Studio 2013\Projects\KinectKickboxingBVversion1
  
  git init
  
  git add KinectKickboxingBVversion1
  
  git commit -m "adding files". 
  
  git remote add originNew https://github.com/BrianJSmith/College_Kinect_Project.git
  
  git push origin master
  </code></pre>
