How to push an existing Eclipse project to GitHub?

Currently I'm developing some applications that I want to share with the community using GitHub.

I've found a lot of tutorials on how to create a GitHub repository from scratch, but I couldn't find one for sharing an existing Eclipse project. I would prefer a solution that works inside Eclipse using a GUI.

You can follow this user guide section of git push (to a GitHub repo), adding a remote with the ssh address of your GitHub repo:

See also this tutorial to push your local project to that GitHub repo.

1. Go to github create new repository
2. Copy http URL from github
3. Go to Eclipse --> Right click on project --> Team--> share project--> Create new Git Repo.
4. Go to Git Staging--> add to index --> commit and push
5. Right click on Git Repositories push to up stream
6. Paste your http URL of githun which you copy in step 2
7. Enter username and password of github -- > Finish

Also to the answer of VonC i have add the urls in text so if you need to do c&p:

remote name: origin
URI: :wavemakerIsAwesome/MyAwesomeAppWavemaker.git
host: github.com

you can get this uri from git.hub in the repository that you must create :)

NOTE: I use the https connection, providing my git's username and password.
