Notes

When you create a new repository in GitHub, the site will provide you with the necessary commands to create a new repository on your local machine and update the GitHub repository from it. The commands are generally of the following form:

create a new local repository:

touch README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/<username>/<project_name>.git
git push -u origin master

update the GitHub repository (i.e. "push" your local repo to GitHub):

git remote add origin https://github.com/<username>/<project_name>.git
git push -u origin master
