# README for a newly created project. There are a couple of things you should do first, before you can use all of Git's power: * Add a remote to this project: in the Cloud9 IDE command line, you can execute the following commands `git remote add [remote name] [remote url (eg. 'git@github.com:/ajaxorg/node_chat')]` [Enter] * Create new files inside your project * Add them to to Git by executing the following command `git add [file1, file2, file3, ...]` [Enter] * Create a commit which can be pushed to the remote you just added `git commit -m 'added new files'` [Enter] * Push the commit the remote `git push [remote name] master` [Enter] That's it! If this doesn't work for you, please visit the excellent resources from [Github.com](http://help.github.com) and the [Pro Git](http://http://progit.org/book/) book. If you can't find your answers there, feel free to ask us via Twitter (@cloud9ide), [mailing list](groups.google.com/group/cloud9-ide) or IRC (#cloud9ide on freenode). Happy coding!
