When I push a project to Github, I have the files of the oldest commit, why?

Question

I have a project on local and I would like to push the project on a github repository On local I have many commits

To push on github I use the following commande lines:

git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git

git pull origin master

git push origin master

It works but I have the first version of the project corresponds to the oldest commit

When I use the following command: git branch -vv --all

I have:

 master    4da82c9 first commit
* old-state 35dd8a0 last commit

I forget something but I don't know what.

can you mention what is the expected outcome and what is the current outcome? — ismailsunni, Jan 02 '20 at 16:59

On the old-state branch nothing to validate, the working copy is clean — Cyril Bron, Jan 02 '20 at 17:12

A pull origin master while you are on old-state would update old-state only, not master.

At least, checkout (or switch) to master first.

git checkout master
# or with Git 2.23+
git switch master

Then:

git push -u origin master
