I just need to bring up a git repo from scratch and push to github on a computer where there was initially

– NO git repo

– NO ssh keys to connect to github

 

So here are the straightforward steps:

1. Initializing git repo on the directory where you want:

git init

2. Adding all the files to the git repository:

git add .

3. First commit:

git commit -m "First commit"

4. Adding a remote repository:

git remote add origin [email protected]/funkydorian/ansible.git

5. You can check the effect of the previous step by:

cat .git/config

6. Check if you have ssh keys in order to connect to github:

ls ~/.ssh/id_rsa

7. If yes, check if you can connect to github:

ssh -T [email protected]

7. If not, create the keys:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"

8. Add your private key identities to the authentication agent:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

9. Copy the key to your clipboard:

pbcopy < ~/..ssh/id_rsa.pub

10. Login to your github.com from your browser

Settings –> SSH Keys –> Add Key –> Paste the content of id_rsa.pub

11. Create the repository on github.com

12. Check again if you can connect to github:

ssh -T [email protected]

You must see the output like:

"You've successfully authenticated…."

13. Try to push to github:

git push -v origin master
