How to upload laravel to a clean github repository?

Question

git

Hello!
How to organize the development of a site on laravel with github?
If I understand correctly, then you first need to upload pure laravel to the new repository on github?
But how to do it, I tried it like this:
1. I created a repository on github.
2. Cloned it to a computer.
3. I wanted to install laravel via composer, but composer gives out that such a folder does not exist. As it turned out, if there is a .git folder in the folder, then such a problem occurs.
Then I decided to do this:
1. Created a new folder on the computer (without .git).
2. Installed laravel in it via composer.
3. Created a new repository on github.
4. On the computer in the folder where laravel is installed, did git init
5. Did a git push to the remote github repository (created in step 3).
But somehow I did not like this decision, it is somehow crooked.
How to do it right anyway?
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

1. Clone Laravel from the official repository to your machine
2. Create your new project on github
3. Upload the contents of laravel from your machine
Update your project when necessary:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "up"
git push -u origin master

Answer 2

You can keep the project not in the Git repository, but in its subfolder:

~/my_project/
  .git/
  my_project/
   ваш_проект

Answer 3

You can simply move the .git folder to the fresh laravel folder
