Connecting sourcetree to github

I’ve just completed a basic course in github that taught me basic items on how to add, save and update contents in the github. Now that I’m trying to learn some things in sourcetree, I find that youtube can’t provide basic tutorial for this. I’m using 3.2.6. My screenshot is below. I can access both github & sourcetree but can’t link them together. What can i do next?

You are already on the correct page:
(Disregarding authorization related security, try this first):

Host:
Hosting Service: GitHub
Host URL: (auto assigned to github.com)
Preferred Protocol: HTTPS

Credentials:
Authentication: Simple
Username: your GitHub username
And click refresh password to insert your GitHub password.

You should see Authentication ok text and green checkbox in bottom left corner of the window.

Click OK and you should now see your repos at GitHub in the Remote window.

Thank you. It works.

Now I’m trying to connect my local and remote repositories and it doesn’t work. I tried a few times and found that only an actual folder can be inserted rather than the main folder containing all the github folders I’m planning to work on. How can I configure source tree so that a few projects I’m working on are already set to be cloned back and forth? That means if i use github, it will update in sourcetree and vice versa. See my screenshot to see what I have done so far.
