We recommend every repository include a README, LICENSE, and .gitignore.

Create a new repository on the command line
mkdir newreponame (md newreponame) on Windows commandline.
cd newreponame

git init
git add README.md
git commit -m “first commit”
git remote add origin git@github.com:githubusername/RH.git
git push -u origin master

Push an existing repository from the command line

git remote add origin git@github.com:githubusername/RH.git
git push -u origin master

Quick setup — HTML

git init
git add README.md
git commit -m “first commit”
git remote add origin https://github.com/githubusername/RH.git

Push an existing repository from the command line

git remote add origin https://github.com/githubusername/RH.git

Error when running “git push origin master”.

Robs-MacBook-Pro:gitrepo1 localuser$ git push origin master
remote: Permission to githubuser1/gitrepo1.git denied to githubuser2.
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/githubuser1/gitrepo1.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403

I simply added the user githubuser2 as a collaborator on gitrepo1 and it worked.
