how to use Bitbucket

Question

i am comfortable using Github to but i am trying to migrate to bitbucket since it supports private repositories by default.

My reason is because to make a repository private in Github, you have to pay some fee, but bitbucket.org provides it for free. I just created an empty repository named testproject, and i'm trying to push my files from my system to the repository online,

this is what i am trying to do ..

git clone https://ande_EAD@bitbucket.org/ande_proj/testproject.git

cd testproject
echo "# My project's README" >> README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master

all my git-commands are giving this error ::

"fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git"

please can someone assist me, whats the proper way of adding content to your repository on bitbucket. and note :: i prefer using command line than any software except otherwise.

if this works then i can successfully push other projects online, and invite the teams to join me.

@LasseV.Karlsen good point, did the clone even create the repo folder locally? :-) — bytedev, Apr 12 '17 at 14:06

Are you sure you are in the correct folder?

See this answer:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

When I use Bitbucket I tend to do things the other way round, i.e.:

Create my git repo locally using git init
Add and commit any files
Go into bitbucket and create a new repository
Then switch back to git and run:

git remote add origin https://<user_name>@bitbucket.org/<user_name>/<repo_name>.git

git push -u origin master

did you tried to move to the parent dir before you commit and push? – Anastasios Moraitis Apr 12 '17 at 13:17
