I am a newbie with git/github and working on a automation testing project. Although I am familiar with the basic git commands and have also read many articles on it, the commands used and when they are used, I am not confident of applying them on a real time project in my company.

So there is a remote repository with the folder structure:

Folder 1
    Folder 2
       Folder 3
          TC1
          TC2
          TC3

so the TC(testcase files automation) are in Folder 3. Folder 3 is in Folder 2 etc. This is the entire front end project structure.

I cloned this repository locally. Created a branch called my-sample-tests. Then I created a new TC(testcase file), say TC6. So this is where I am at: I did:

$git add .
$git commit -m  "file TC6"

$git status
On branch my-sample-tests
Your branch is ahead of 'origin/my-sample-tests' by 432 commits.
  (use "git push" to publish your local commits)

What should be my next steps if my code should be on the remote git along with the other test files.

Appreciate your help!

    What did the message from git say? `use "git push"`. Use it. – matt Apr 25 '20 at 01:34

    There's something odd above: if you ran `git commit` once, you should be `ahead of` the upstream branch by *1* commit. The above says `ahead ... by 432 commits`: more than four hundred too many. – torek Apr 25 '20 at 08:44

Right now you have committed your changes to your local working directory. In order to push these changes to the remote repository that is hosted on the github, you need to push these files or technically speaking commits by doing a:

git remote push origin
