Push an Existing Project into GitHub

I always forget these steps so noting them here. This does assume that an empty repo is first created on GitHub.

• git init # initialize directory to be a new git repo
• git add . # add files
• git commit -m "Initial Commit" # commit the files
• git remote add origin # add the GitHub repo as the remote
• git remote -v # verify addition
• git push origin master # push commit to master branch on GitHub
