It's been awhile since I've needed to use Git at the command line so I can't tell you the exact syntax to use but, once you have Git installed, you can run the command from within your project's root directory and it will upload everything on its own, maintaining the same folder and file structure you have in the root folder. Personally, I use the excellent GitKraken front-end, which makes this even easier.
