Here are the instructions from github:
touch README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/tqisjim/google-oauth.git
git push -u origin master
Here's what actually worked:
touch README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/tqisjim/google-oauth.git
git clone origin master
After cloning, then the push command succeeds by prompting for a username and password
