===== Create a Git Repository =====

To create a new Git repository on your Accelerator, first edit your ~/.bashrc file and add this to the top:

<code>
  export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/local/bin
</code>

Then run something like:

<code>
  cd ~
  mkdir git
  mkdir git/myapp.git
  cd git/myapp.git
  git --bare init
</code>

To push an (existing) app from your local machine up to the remote repository:

<code>
  cd myapp
  git add .
  git commit -m "initial import"
  git remote add origin ssh://hostname/home/username/git/myapp.git
  git push origin master
</code>

(Perhaps there's a more standard convention for repositories; feel free to edit this to reflect that.)
