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 .
