Problem faced
-------------

I had the same problem when I was creating a new repository on GitHub and linking it with my react-app in the client computer I have. 

I used the following steps:

Commands used before the problem
==================================

```
git init
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin "_git repository link here_"
git push -u origin main
```

My mistake
==========

But as you can see my mistake was not using the `git add .` command
I did this mistake because I already had README.md file and GitHub instructs us with basic commands while creating the repository.

My solution
===========

**My solution** is to use `git add .` after `git init` command. 

Use the following set of commands in the same order to overcome the problem:

```
git init
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin "_git repository link here_"
git push -u origin main
```
