Cannot push git commit to github repo using Zend Studio 10.0.1

Question

I am able to hit the commit button in zend studio for eclipse in but nothing seems to get pushed to the git hub. I downloaded Zend 10.6 trial and it seems to work fine. I think there is an issue with my version finding Git? I updated the software. In the new one, I just hit "commit and push" and it works seamlessly but in my version theres only a commit button and it never makes it to the github server?

Git is distributed source control. Unlike something like SVN, you do not commit to a central repository. You commit only and always to your local repository. You can then push a series of commits to a peer repository, one of which is treated as the authoritative repository like on github, but you must push the changes.

If there is not commit and push button in your version of zend, you must find the push button (sometimes called synchronize branch/repo) or push from the command line. To push from the command line, open your favorite command processor or shell, change to the directory of your git repository and type: git push origin master. This assumes your remote is named origin which is the default and usually the case and your branch is named master, also the default and usually the case. Replace these as necessary for your setup.
