git: How to push to existing repo
Raw
git_push_to_existing_repo.md

  1. Create the remote repository, and get the URL
    If your local GIT repo is already set up, skips steps 2 and 3

  2. Locally, at the root directory of your source, git init

  3. Locally, add and commit what you want in your initial repo (for everything, git add . git commit -m 'initial commit comment')

  4. To attach your remote repo with the name 'origin' (like cloning would do) git remote add origin [URL From Step 1]

  5. Execute git pull origin master to pull the remote branch so that they are in sync.

  6. To push up your master branch (change master to something else for a different branch): git push origin master
