You probably ran "git init" which actually *creates* the repository on your workstation, and then you ran "git push" which mirrors it back to GitHub. So you don't need to clone in that case; you already have a copy of the repo, since the workstation is where you created it.

OK, but I created the README on the website (https://github.com/ad1054/Postcards), not with a terminal command.  When I then went through the instructions and tried to create the Hello-World README from the terminal, that's when I got the errors.  When I click the "clone in desktop" button on the github.com site, it takes me to the http://mac.github.com/ site where my only option is to download Git for Mac -- which I already downloaded.

It should say your origin is "https://github.com/ad1054/Postcards". If it says "Hello-World" that is wrong. To fix, try this:
> 
> git remote rm origin
> git remote add origin https://github.com/ad1054/Postcards

This is the result of those commands in my terminal:

ChrisGAIAG:~ chris$ git remote rm origin
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
ChrisGAIAG:~ chris$ git remote add origin https://github.com/ad1054/Postcards
fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

So do I need to cd to some place first?

> Or, as Johannes says: just reclone from your GitHub remote into a new directory, and then copy your files into there, and then commit and push using the GitHub for Mac GUI.

The GitHub for Mac is a complete mystery right now.  There is a long list of my java classes and resources, followed at the end with a link to my NetBeans project folder, so I see there is a link to my computer.  I guess I am in fact close.  I just need to figure out how to commit and push.  

And of course, resolve the strange errors in my project that can't recognize the Swing components of my jFrames when I removed the APC_ class from my pom dependencies.  Now when I attempt to run it on my computer, I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jdesktop/layout/GroupLayout$Group
	at A_Postcard.run(A_Postcard.java:25)
	at A_Postcard.main(A_Postcard.java:35)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.jdesktop.layout.GroupLayout$Group

 Also, when I was able to run my project, I get an error that it could not find the class "Versatile Wand" which is in my project's target>classes.
