Working along with WebStorm to learn how to use Github. Training so far:

1. Created node project File, New, Project.., giving it the name github-essentials..Web Storm will prompt you to create a README.md and .gitignore files. Go on and do it as they should be done as good practice. I didn't do anything to the README.md file so an emptyone was created. I later used the Multimarkdown plugin to maintain the READE.md file. Web Storm will genet a .gitignore file appropriate for node.
2. In Pereferences, Version Control, - Github
3. Set username and password to github account at www.github.com; all other parameters took default.
4. Tested it to make sure the login works by pressing the Test button.
5. Under VCS, Import Into Version Control, Create Git Repository, give it the name git_essentials
6. Under VCS, Selected Commit Changes, committed to local git repository
7. Under VCS, Git, Push, pushed changes to cloud repository
