Setting up a git repository
If I am creating a repository from scratch, then I pick the creating and commiting option. Creating and Commiting $ cd (project-directory) $ git init $ (add some files) $ git add . $ git commit -m 'Initial commit' Once that is done, then I can clone the repository from any computer by following the Cloning and Creating Patch directions. Cloning and Creating a Patch $ git clone git://github.com/git/hello-world.git $ cd hello-world $ (edit files) $ git add (files) $ git commit -m 'Explain what I changed' $ git format-patch origin/master Pushing a branch $ (execute the following in the remote repository) $ git config --bool core.bare true $ (delete all files in remote repository except the .git folder) $ (now you can push to the remote repository from any branch) $ git push origin master Git Reference http://git-scm.com/
