IT:AD:Git:HowTo:Crash Course

• Before you can check in, the repo has to exist on IT:AD:BitBucket, IT:AD:GitHub, IT:AD:Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) or wherever.
• Once the repo has an url:

# If you have nothing local yet, clone:
  # BitBucket/Option A:
  git clone git@bitbucket.org:<yourname>/<yourreponame>.git
  # BitBucket/Option B:

  git remote clone https://<youraccountname>@bitbucket.org/<nameofrepoowner>/<nameofrepo>.git

# CD to your project
cd <projectroot>

# ALTERNATIVE WAY:
# But sometimes you have an existing code folder, and don't want to create a new folder.
# In which case, create the local repo (ie, the `.git` folder): 
git init

# Connect the local to remote repo:
    #Bitbucket, Option A: SSH:
    git remote add origin https://<youraccountname>@bitbucket.org/<nameofrepoowner>/<nameofrepo>.git
    
    #Bitbucket, Option B: HTTPS (although you'll have to retarget afterwards):
    git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:<yourname>/<yourreponame>.git
# Can't push up the cloud repo till there have been some changes. So make a file:
echo NULL > readme.md`

# Still can't push up to the cloud until you've Committed the changes:
git add contributors.txt
git add .

# Commit: 
git commit -m "Initial commit with contributors"


# Push:
git push -u origin master
