Hello,  
I am new to local and WordPress and I have been working on a local blog site on local. If I push it on Github I’m guessing that all folders and files of the local folder must be pushed there (app, conf, logs folders and their content)?  
Is this how I should do it and is it safe?

Thank you for your response!  
If I got this right I only push the wp-content folder?  
Will I then be able to view the website on [github-username.github.io/github-repo-name](http://github-username.github.io/github-repo-name)?
