Linking an existing Project to a Git remote

If you did not create your project from a Git repository, you can link an existing project to a Git remote (for example, git@github.com:username/repo.git) so that you can push and pull your code.

Launch a new session.
Open a terminal.
Enter the following commands:
Shell
```
git init
git add * 
git commit -a -m 'Initial commit' 
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repo.git 
```
You can run git status after git init to make sure your .gitignore includes a folder for libraries and other non-code artifacts.
