There's also an open source project (a collection of cross platform [Linux, Mac, Win] scripts) that does all the nitty-gritty details of the repository management with a handful (3-4) of commands.
https://github.com/karalabe/gitbox/wiki
Sample usage is:
$ gitbox create myapp
Creating empty repository...
Initializing new repository...
Repository successfully created.
$ gitbox clone myapp
Cloning repository...
Repository successfully cloned.
After which normal git usage:
$ echo “Some change” > somefile.txt
$ git add somefile.txt
$ git commit –m “Created some file”
$ git push
Check the project wiki and the manuals for full command reference and tutorials.
