title: Publishing to github results in an empty repository
body: <p>I am new to git. I downloaded the desktop version (for Windows). I dragged the folder containing my project into the big window, "Get started by adding a repository." All the files showed up in the left window. Then I clicked on "Publish Repository". It then shows 143 files have changed, with 0 unsynced.</p>
  
  <p>But when I go to my account on the git website, the repository is empty. The only files in it are <code>.gitattributes</code> and <code>.gitignore</code>. The whole idea here is that I want to share this project with other people.  </p>
  
  <p>Help out a git newbie and explain how I get the entire solution into git?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
