I tried to push my project from android studio to GitHub but it failed. Here is the error:

Can't finish GitHub sharing process
            Successfully created project 'BurgerRating' on GitHub, but initial commit failed:
            *** Please tell me who you are.
            
            Run
            
            git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
            git config --global user.name "Your Name"
            
            to set your account's default identity.
            Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
            
            unable to auto-detect email address (got 'valk@DESKTOP-59LAKG3.(none)')

I don't know how to directly put a project on GitHub because it says that the project is more than 100 files. If I do it step by step, I miss some files. Please help!

The error you are showing is simply telling that you are not identified on your git. It suggested you resolve by the

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

you can just follow that instruction first and show what happens next

For me, the following worked. Please note that I'm using Windows10 and two factors verification.

  1. Get Personal access token of github by:
    Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens

  2. Save the token in .gitconfig by:

    git config --global user.name "your username"
    git config --global user.password "your github access token"

Please note that this will change the global setting that is stored in:

C:\Users\{your windows user name}\.gitconfig

You might be better to save the backup of this file.

  1. On Android Studio, go to Settings -> Version Control -> Git and set the git executable path.
  2. On Android Studio, go to Settings -> Version Control -> GitHub and click on + or press on Alt+Insert then choose Login with token and paste the Github token that we generated in step 1.
  3. On Android Studio, from the top menu bar, go to VCS -> Import into version control -> Share project on Github and share the project.
  4. We see an error message that says project was created but initial commit was failed. Now go to VCS -> Remotes and delete the origin.
  5. Add origin with the URL https://github.com/{your github user name}/{repository name}.git which is usually used for cloning the repository.
  6. Now you can commit and push. Go to VCS -> Git -> Push
