Starting a new Repository on GitHub

These are the instructions that GitHub provides you with in order to create a new repository.

Note: replace the name John Doe with your actual GitHub user name. Also replace the email and don't forget to name your app.

Global setup:

Download and install Git
  git config --global user.name "John Doe"
  git config --global user.email john.doe@gmail.com

mkdir Name-Your-App
  cd Name-Your-App
  git init
  touch README
  git add README
  git commit -m 'first commit'
  git remote add origin git@github.com:JohnDoe/Name-Your-App.git
  git push -u origin master
