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)
-
Create the remote repository, and get the URL such as
git@github.com:/youruser/somename.gitorhttps://github.com/youruser/somename.gitIf your local GIT repo is already set up, skips steps 2 and 3
-
Locally, at the root directory of your source,
git init -
Locally, add and commit what you want in your initial repo (for everything,
git add .git commit -m 'initial commit comment') -
to attach your remote repo with the name 'origin' (like cloning would do)
git remote add origin [URL From Step 1] - Execute
git pull origin masterto pull the remote branch so that they are in sync. - to push up your master branch (change master to something else for a different branch):
git push origin master
