Trying to push from my local dir to the Github repo

Hi.

As a test, I cloned a repo to my local machine.

I then made a few changes to files.

I'm now trying to push the files/repo to the new Github repo

It appears I'm missing something. No matter what I'm doing, the new repo in Github, is populated with the files from the initial/cloned repo.

The steps I've used

mkdir foo cd foo git clone http:/github.com/foo/cat.git

git remote rename origin upstream git remote add origin https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git git remote -v master https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (fetch) master https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (push) origin https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (fetch) origin https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (push) remote https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (fetch) remote https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (push) upstream https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (fetch) upstream https://github.com/numinds/testapp.git (push)

git push origin master Username for 'https://github.com': numinds Password for 'https://numinds@github.com': Enumerating objects: 3050, done. Counting objects: 100% (3050/3050), done.

 * [new branch]      master -> master

Obviously, I'm missing something in the process.

Any pointers/Comments would be welcome.

thanks
