Push existing source code to GitHub

There are a lot of advice about that, but the most of them don't work. I found one that really works:

1. Create the remote repository, and get the URL such asgit://github.com/youruser/somename.git
   If your local GIT repo is already set up, skips steps 2 and 3

   ---

2. Locally, at the root directory of your source, git init
3. Locally, add and commit what you want in your initial repo (for everything, git add . git commit -m 'initial commit comment')

   ---

4. to attach your remote repo with the name 'origin' (like cloning would do)
   git remote add origin [URL From Step 1]
5. to push up your master branch (change master to something else for a different branch):
   git push origin master
