Git: Push a new or existing repo to Github

git_newrepo

# Create a new repository on the command line
 
touch README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/c0ldlimit/vimcolors.git
git push -u origin master
 
# Push an existing repository from the command line
 
git remote add origin https://github.com/c0ldlimit/vimcolors.git
git push -u origin master

@codewizard13 in reference to the default branch name change, it remains a controversial topic, but here is a fairly unopinionated synopsis.

Thanks! Worked like a charm. Tried many other suggestions before this one. Thanks again.

I have a question, we need to create a repo on github first, then only we can push our repo? Can we not directly push a repo to our profile and it creates the repo from the folder name?
