How to set up a new repository with GitHub

gitsetup.sh

# This sounds a little ridiculous but reliably setting up a new repository on GitHub
# with some initial local source was a little more involved than I expected.

# Visit https://github.com/new and create your repo PROJECT name.
# Now cd to your project directory. You should be at the top level.
git init
git remote add origin git@github.com:USERNAME/PROJECT.git
git branch --set-upstream master origin/master
git pull
# at this point you might need to resolve any .gitignore or README.MD conflicts you might have.
git push

# TADA! You should be able to see your source at github.com/USERNAME/PROJECT now!
