title: New Repository unexpectedly adds other files
body: <p>I created a new repository for my first create-react-app and when I went to setup the remote connection to my github repository it failed. After going to my github repository I found files and even entire repositories had been added to both my local and Github repository, but they are not visible in my editor or desktop folder. If anyone could at least point me in the right direction as to what happened and how I can resolve this I would greatly appreciate it. Here is what I see when I run git status after attempting to push changes to my github repository:</p>
