Github tab on atom

[jgeche]

So Im trying to push my project from atom to github. when i go to the github tab it shows my project there on github connected but below it tells me "the repository at remote origin is empty" and below push a main branch to begin sharing your work. WIth a bunch of my projects Ive been uploading it all manually on github so maybe that is why it isnt working. just wondering what the easiest fix is so I can link my projects on my comp to the projects on github themselves without creating a new repo. I dont have git installed. would installing xcode do the trick i wonder
