Git

Could not switch branches. Got permissions error on a particular folder. Restarted IIS and recycled the app pool. Also, might need to manually delete .git/packed-refs.lock file

git push -u origin master

Adding a remote

To add a new remote, use the git remote add command on the terminal, in the directory your repository is stored at.

The git remote add command takes two arguments:

• A remote name, for example, origin
• A remote URL, for example, https://github.com/user/repo.git

For example:

git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git
# Set a new remote
git remote -v
# Verify new remote
origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (fetch)
origin  https://github.com/user/repo.git (push)

================== Adding a folder without a solution/project in it to git==============

In the folder right click to open Git GUI Here. State and commit all files locally. Then push to Arbitrary Reporisotyr (copy url from git). It has to be un-initialized (no readme file or any other files in there).
