Can't "push" in a solo usage [message #1408644]

Hi!
I am working alone with Eclipse (Kepler Service Release 2) and I am using Egit locally (the git repository is on my hard drive) mainly to benefit from versioning.
I need to "push" (in order to save a newer version of my work) but I can't. I right-click on my project, go to team, then "push to upstream" is grey, inactive ; I can only "Commit...". And it says "No changed items were selected. Do you wish to amend the last commit?".
I am afraid to try, I guess it wouldn't push and replace the old files at best.
Could someone advise me ?

When I go to the ressources of the history view, I can only see the name of my project with a green plus, and the yellow cylinder. I can't compare anything and I suspect I am not commiting anything.
I can't add items of my project (I mean classes, jsp, and others) to the index, neither could I remove them from it, although every item's got the cylinder.
I made another git, attached my project to it. Nothing I do seems to matter.

How can I really add my items to the index and compare them through different versions ?

In order to record history with git you need to commit the changes you did in the file system.
When you create a commit the corresponding file versions are stored in the git object database
in your local repository. If you have another repository (typically on a server) you want to send your
new commits to you can use the git push command to transfer your commits created locally to the
other git repository. If you created your local repository from scratch it has no link (so called remote)
to any other git repository. Hence "Push" is disabled. If you have another repository e.g. on GitHub
where you want to push your changes to you first need to configure a remote [1]. Then you should be able
to push.

Open the Git Staging View. It shows the files you modified in the "Unstaged Changes" pane, drag and drop them to the "Staged Changes" pane in order to stage the changes. Provide a commit message and click "Commit" to create a new commit. Find more details here [1].

Did you try the basic tutorial [2] ?
