Add project to existing repo

Sometimes you want to add an existing project into a Git repo. You've been working on something for a while and want to make it into a repo, or I find this helpful after creating a project with a command line tool like Ionic or Meteor. These tools create a new directory and populated it like template.

Either way you might have previously created your repos first and never come across this problem. It's quite easy to resolve with this:

cd <project dir>
git init  
git add -A  
git commit -m 'first commit'  
git remote add origin <your repo address here>  
git pull origin master  
git push origin master  

Breaking it down:

If you project never belong to a repo it needs a git file.

git init  

Add all your project files.

git add -A  

Name your first commit.

git commit -m 'first commit'  

This is where you connect your project to your remote repo.
git remote add origin <your repo address here>

Before pushing you may need to pull any changes down.

git pull origin master  

Push your first commit.

git push origin master
