If you've got local source code you want to add to a new remote new git repository without 'cloning' the remote first, do the following (I often do this - you create your remote empty repository in bitbucket/github, then push up your source)

Create the remote repository, and get the URL such as git@github.com:/youruser/somename.git or https://github.com/youruser/somename.git

If your local GIT repo is already set up, skips steps 2 and 3

Locally, at the root directory of your source, git init

Locally, add and commit what you want in your initial repo (for everything, git add . git commit -m 'initial commit comment')

to attach your remote repo with the name 'origin' (like cloning would do)
git remote add origin [URL From Step 1]

Execute git pull origin master to pull the remote branch so that they are in sync.
to push up your master branch (change master to something else for a different branch):
git push origin master
