1. Create the remote repository, and get the URL such as [email protected]:/youruser/somename.git or https://github.com/youruser/somename.git If your local GIT repo is already set up, skips steps 2 and 3

2. Locally, at the root directory of your source, git init 2a. If you initialize the repo with a .gitignore and a README.md you should do a git pull {url from step 1} to ensure you don't commit files to source that you want to ignore ;)

3. Locally, add and commit what you want in your initial repo (for everything, git add . then git commit -m 'initial commit comment')

4. to attach your remote repo with the name 'origin' (like cloning would do) git remote add origin [URL From Step 1]

5. Execute git pull origin master to pull the remote branch so that they are in sync.

6. to push up your master branch (change master to something else for a different branch): git push origin master
