I mentioned this in my tutorial, How To Use GitHub: A tutorial for beginners.

When you create a new repository on GitHub, GitHub may ask you to create a readme file. If you create a readme file directly on GitHub, then you will need to first make a ‘pull’ request before the ‘push’ request will be successful. These commands will ‘pull’ the remote repository, merge it with your current files, and then ‘push’ all the files back to GitHub:

git pull https://github.com/thomas07vt/MyFirstRepo.git master

git push https://github.com/thomas07vt/MyFirstRepo.git master
