Opensource.guide: Open source guide for creating a repo in Linux

[Vic-ST]

Do you think you could make a guide for creating a repo(or setting up with code you already have), I mean, even if it is impossible to create a repo from the terminal, maybe how would you create one online, clone it down, transfer the code over, stage and commit, and push OR you could make a Github desktop version for Linux. I would like a guide on this because, even though I figured it out, it took me a couple hours in which I could have been programming in.

I can't put my finger on it, but this kind of step-by-step technical how-to documentation seems out of place for this project.

Documentation on new guides.

FWIW you might want to follow https://github.com/desktop/desktop/issues/1525 about Desktop on Linux or look at building and running it yourself https://github.com/desktop/desktop/pull/2271 or you can use https://hub.github.com to create a repo from the command line.

Hi @StevenCopeland, thanks for the suggestion!

I agree with @mlinksva that this is probably too technical and GitHub-specific for an open source guide. However, I think this could be a great candidate for content that GitHub would offer elsewhere. I've passed it on to the appropriate team, thank you for letting us know!

@StevenCopeland A colleague also pointed me to this: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line/

Hope it helps for the future :)
