+===== Creating a new remote repository from an existing local one =====
+I created wine-tasting at [[https://github.com/new]].  Then, to create a new repository on the command line at the local computer:
+<code>
+~$ mkdir wine-tasting
+~$ cd wine-tasting/
+wine-tasting$ vim README.md
+wine-tasting$ vim LICENSE.txt
+wine-tasting$ git init
+wine-tasting$ git add README.md
+wine-tasting$ git add LICENSE.txt
+wine-tasting$ git add test.py
+wine-tasting$ git add wine_allocator.py
+wine-tasting$ git commit -m "first commit"
+wine-tasting$ git remote add origin https://github.com/dblume/wine-tasting.git
+wine-tasting$ git push -u origin master
+</code>
+====== Renaming branches ======
+To rename a remote branch:
+  - Rename the local one.
+  - Push the deletion of the old name.
+  - Push the new name.
+  - git remote prune origin
+When someone else renamed a remote branch:
+<code bash>
+$ git fetch --all  # TODO investigate why fetch
+$ git remote prune origin  # (where origin is the name of the shared repo)
+</code>
+==== Changing a local branch without regard to remote branch ====
+<code>
+$ git checkout -b branch_name
+Switched to a new branch 'branch_name'
+</code>
+That was the same as "git branch branch_name; git checkout branch_name"
+==== Changing a local branch to a new remote branch ====
+This'll work if you don't have a local branch with that name already.
+<code>
+$ git checkout --track origin/branch_name
+</code>
+==== Making the current local branch track a new remote branch ====
+<code>
+$ git branch -u origin/branch_name
+</code>
+====== git at dlma.com ======
+I created a remote git repo at dlma like so:
+At the server:
+<code bash>
+git$ mkdir testcode.git
+git$ cd testcode.git/
+testcode.git$ git init --bare
+</code>
+Then, at the local computer:
+<code bash>
+testcode$ git init
+Initialized empty Git repository in /home/David/testcode/.git/
+testcode$ git add .
+testcode$ git commit -m "first commit"
+...
+testcode$ git remote add origin ssh://USERNAME@dlma.com/~/git/testcode.git
+testcode$ git push origin master
+</code>
+I could've use gitweb but I used GitHub-like [[https://github.com/klaussilveira/gitlist|gitlist]] at http://git.dlma.com.
