Ember CLI (4.1.0) github output

I am new emberjs and trying to track my project via github. I currently have a directory tracking my changes /workspace, which should contain a subdirectory /workspace/currentproj. The top level directory is being tracked by my github however the lower level changes are not. When I check the status on currentproj the files are being track but not by my remote repo. In the ember-cli-update.json file I see a reference to a "outputRepo": "https://github.com/ember-cli/ember-new-output". I am wondering if that is where I need to add my repo information. If so its not working. How do track changes using my current repo?

I am using a mac air m1 with atom editor.
