Setting up fresh github repo

Setting up fresh github repo:


1. first visit github and create a user.

2. visit the url  like https://github.com/user_name_here

3. goto "repositories tab" - click on "new"

4. give a name "my_new_repository"

Avoid adding a README using UI. We will do it later from terminal.

5. Now you should be able to access this link:

https://github.com/user_name_here/new_repo.git



Now, open terminal and follow the *sample* workflow to freshly initialize your github repo:


echo "# simple_testing" >>  README.md
 
git init
 
git add README.md
 
git commit -m "first commit"

git remote add origin git@github.com:user_name_here/simple_testing.git

Another format for add: (this gives authentication failure. Avoid using it)

  git remote add origin https://github.com/user_name_here/simple_testing.git

git push -u origin master
 
Here, simple_testing is the "repo" name created.
