Now I want to push this to github but on a new branch "newBranch". How do I do it ?

First, you have to commit your changes:
git status
git add -- <files>
git commit -m "Commit message"
You then have to git push:
git push -u origin newBranch
-u will set the upstream for your new branch so that you can do git push, git pull etc in the future without having to say where to / from.

fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository. I get the above error – Santosh Pashupati Nov 06 '17 at 18:40

git push origin newBranch will do the trick. Any time you need to push code, it's git push [name of remote repository] [name of branch]. in this case, the name of your remote is origin, and your branch is newBranch

do you have a remote repository set up? run `git remote -v` and that should show you your remote(s). where are you pulling this from? – Kevin Pasquarella Nov 06 '17 at 21:58
