CentOS - Apr 2013 - upload a file to new github repository

Though I've used version control systems before and even set up a couple 
over the years, and though it was simple to setup a github repository 
(which I did just a couple minutes ago), I can't figure out how to 
upload the first file to it.  I'm logged in, on the repository's home 
page, but can't see an option for that.  I also read instructions for 
set up on the web and the git manpage, but no help there.  Anybody here 
know to put a code file into the repository?

Thanks.

Sounds like you're trying to add the file from the web interface.  Usually
you add the files via the filesystem you've cloned the repo to. Ex:

git clone https://git.com/username/my-repo
cd my-repo
[edit/add files]
git status # to preview your chnages
git commit -m"Adding new and changed files to my repo"
git push

Then go to https://git.com/username/my-repo

and you should see the changes.  I'm assuming you're putting all your
changes in your master branch.

I guess you can files via the web interface, but I've never done that.
