Adding existing source to remote git repo
If you've got local source code you want to add to a new remote new git repository without 'cloning' the remote first, do the following (I often do this - you create your remote empty repository in bitbucket/github, then push up your source)
1. Create the remote repository, and get the URL such as git://github.com/youruser/somename.git
2. If your local GIT repo is already set up, skips steps 2 and 3
3. Locally, at the root directory of your source, git init
4. Locally, add and commit what you want in your initial repo (for everything,
git add .

Steps to install a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with Nginx.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert
