Github Desktop: Not able to publish

问题:

I have a project which I want to upload to GitHub. I have used Github Desktop to create a local repository and I am able to commit files to it. But once I try to publish it, the publish icon just fades and won't allow me to do it. I have checked my settings in Settings->Options and they are correct.

Since the local repo has no remote url, you need to add one, referencing a remote empty repo that you own (on GitHub for instance):

cd /path/to/repo
git remote add origin https://github.com/<user>/<an_empty_repo>

Or, in GitHub Desktop:

Settings->Repository settings->Remote 

Then you will be able to publish.
