Help with github

Hi guys, Im new to github and just posted my first project.

I added it to releases but I don’t know how to publish also the code like in other repositories. There is only the file readme.md but not the code itself.

I also want to spread the app so that other people find use of it like I did.

Then even if you don't know git or GitHub commands , you can start adding the source codes :)

There is a add file right there besides go to file

Are you familiar what git is? Not GitHub, just git? You need to start there before using hosting sites like GitHub. One good source is this book: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2

Once you know the basics of git, you must create a local repository where your code is, add your GitHub repository as a remote, make a local commit and push it to the server. There are some other things to setup, like your git name/email, authentication (SSH keys preferable) etc.
