How to import an existing project into GitHub

GitHub Import

Every time I want to import an existing project into GitHub I have to Google for the instructions. Hopefully this gist will be easier for me to find...

1. Create a new repository on GitHub and make note of the URL. The URL will be something like https://github/ksuderman/org.anc.some.project.git (don't forget the .git extension).
2. CD to the root on your project source code.
3. git init
4. git add . (or explicityly specify directories and files to be added).
5. git commit -m "Initial code import."
6. git remote add origin [URL] (where [URL] is the URL from step one)
7. git pull origin master
8. git push origin master

The new project has now been imported into GitHub.
