'git add .' doesn't work

Question

I am currently trying to setup Git for a project I have been working on for a while. I do remember quite a while ago setting up Git but never used it for various reasons. No

Answer 1

Instead of

git init
git remote add origin https://USERNAME@bitbucket.org/USERNAME/APPNAME.git

you should use

git clone origin https://USERNAME@bitbucket.org/USERNAME/APPNAME.git .

since you want to clone an existing repository and not re-create it.
