Pushing a new project to Github

This post talks about pushing a new project on Github. Make sure that the project is not created already on the Github.

I have illustrated using a sample application named as websockets.  I have shown created a project with just one file (README.md) and then pushing the project to github. You can run below commands in terminal or gitbash. 

$ mkdir websockets
$ cd websockets

$ echo "# websockets" >> README.md

$ git init

Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/siddheshwar/Documents/gitRepo/websockets/.git/

$ git add README.md

$ git commit -m "first commit"

[master (root-commit) 24fac01] first commit

1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)

create mode 100644 README.md

$ git remote add origin https://github.com/raiskumar/websockets.git

$ git push -u origin master
