The repo in this case is local and already exists, and you just want to put it on github

1. Create a repo on github.com

2. Within the local project folder, remove git:

   rm .git /S/Q

3. Initialize a new git repo:

   git init

4. Add all the files in your project to the repo:

   git add .

5. Add a commit with comment:

   git commit -m "initial commit"

6. Upload to repo:

   git remote add origin URL

   git push -u origin master

   * Note that github will need a personal access token instead of a password -- see github docs on the matter to resolve.

This is where a repo already exists on github.com but you want it on your local machine

• First time:

  git clone /path/to/repository

• Thereafter:

  git pull

---

This is where you have a version of the repo locally, but need to push the updated files to github.com

1. Add the new files:

   git add .

2. Commit new files with a message:

   git commit -m "Commit message"

3. Point to target github repo (only run this on first push):

   git remote add origin <server url>

4. Push your commit to the repo:

   git push origin master

   * Note that if this command hangs after the Total line, see this SO post.
