I notice you haven't committed anything...if there's nothing committed, there's nothing to push. — Makoto, Aug 02 '18 at 14:55

You must first add and commit files in your local directory into local git repository before you can push them to remote.

If you want to do it in JGit use AddCommand and CommitCommand:

AddCommand add = git.add();
add.addFilepattern("."); // the directory of your files for recursive add
add.call();

CommitCommand commit = git.commit();
commit.setMessage("Initial import");
commit.call();

Thanks lot karol,but now am getting Exception ,org.eclipse.jgit.errors.NoWorkTreeException: Bare Repository has neither a working tree, nor an index at org.eclipse.jgit.lib.Repository.getIndexFile(Repository.java:1147) – Doss Aug 02 '18 at 16:40
Your local directory is a bare git repo. See [What's the -practical- difference between a Bare and non-Bare repository?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5540883/whats-the-practical-difference-between-a-bare-and-non-bare-repository). – Karol Dowbecki Aug 02 '18 at 16:57
Thanks finally got solution,have to use 'Git git = Git.open(new File(localPath));' instead of Repository localRepo = new FileRepository(localPath); Git git = new Git(localRepo); – Doss Aug 03 '18 at 06:18
