I read this every time I need to set up Git with an existing project (surprisingly often) and it is always an efficient way of doing things. Thanks for covering this so well Tyler - this is far better than other posts on this subject.</p> https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2012/10/21/move-existing-website-to-git/comment_2_9acc17cf45aa78ee872c425d6f265b97/ thcipriani 2018-06-13T19:34:11Z 2013-07-21T18:55:57Z <p>I use this post all the time, too <img src="https://tylercipriani.com/smileys/smile.png" alt=":)" /></p> <p>That’s the reason I write most of these posts—so I don’t have to figure out how to do something twice.</p> https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2012/10/21/move-existing-website-to-git/comment_3_5f37799ffd3dd966eadb316ae8c8e684/ e158a3r 2018-06-13T19:34:11Z 2014-04-03T13:22:33Z <p>Following these steps, I get an error:</p> <p>git push -u origin master</p> <p>fatal: ‘origin’ does not appear to be a git repository</p> <p>fatal: Could not read from remote repository.</p> <p>However, using ‘web’ rather than ‘origin’ results in what appears to be success.</p> <p>Am I in error?</p> https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2012/10/21/move-existing-website-to-git/comment_4_c6345986ed53e3afc6bb90f3ea391424/ thcipriani 2018-06-13T19:34:11Z 2014-04-07T07:30:16Z <p>No you’re not, I am, actually! The <code>git remote add web</code> named the remote <code>web</code>. You can list out all your remotes with <code>git remote</code>.</p> <p>I’ll get a fix up here soon. Nice catch!</p> https://tylercipriani.com/blog/2012/10/21/move-existing-website-to-git/comment_5_06234141344d0e0c283ce3f65bf616d9/ hthomasrye 2018-06-13T19:34:11Z 2015-03-10T19:58:05Z <p>Thanks for the write up. This is quite nearly exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m trying to setup a faux-central repo on my webserver so I can develop locally, push to central repo and then pull from central repo to production.</p> <p>A couple things not quite working just yet, but I’m hopeful.</p>
