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
