1. Create new repository, go here: 
https://github.com/new

2. Give it a name and tick 'Initialize this repository with a README', then click on 'Create Repository', for this example the name will be 'reload-jail'

3. On your shell initialize the new repository:
git init reload-jail

4. Go into the repository directory:
cd reload-jail/

5. Add the remote repository:
git remote add origin git@github.com:weirdbricks/reload-jail.git

^You get the above link by going to your repositories (https://github.com/weirdbricks?tab=repositories), click on your repository and copy the 'SSH clone URL'

6. Before you push you'll need to have your SSH keys in place - check for your current user with:
ls ~/.ssh/

If you don't have keys, create them with:
ssh-keygen

Copy the PUBLIC key only (usually the file ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub provided you took the defaults when creating the SSH key) 
Paste the key here: https://github.com/settings/ssh

Test that your key works with GitHub to retain sanity:
ssh -T git@github.com

You should get a prompt to add github.com to the list of known hosts, answer 'yes' and you should get:
Hi weirdbricks! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

7. Set your username and e-mail for commits:
git config --global user.email "weirdbricks@myopera.com"
git config --global user.name "Lampros"

8. Sync the remote with the local repository:
git pull origin master

8. Create a test file, add it, commit it and push it:
touch test.txt
git add test.txt
git commit -m 'testing'
git push origin master

9. Delete the repository - GONE FOR GOOD! be careful :)
go here: https://github.com/weirdbricks/reload-jail/settings
and click on 'Delete this repository'

10. Delete it locally by simply removing the directory:
rm -r -f reload-jail/

Note1: 
If you're getting this error when you're trying to push:
You can't push to git://github.com/weirdbricks/reload-jail.git
  Use https://github.com/weirdbricks/reload-jail.git

Fix with:
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:weirdbricks/reload-jail.git
