Connect a local repository with a remote repository

Question

I have a local repository. I created the whole application, but now I want to push it to a remote repository. I already have remote repo as well. How can I connect these two repositories without losing any work that I did?

Answer 1

Use:

git remote add origin <remote_repo_URL>
git push --all origin

If you want to set all of your branches to automatically use this remote repository when you use git pull, add --set-upstream to the push:

git push --all --set-upstream origin
