this is just my first go project. after installing go (http://golang.org/doc/install), i followed these instructions to create the project, install it, and set up a git repo (http://golang.org/doc/code.html), then i did the following to create the remote repo using the command line:
from within the directory where the git repo was set up (in my case, $GOPATH/src/github.com/jeffelrod/hello), i ran
curl -u 'USER' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"hello"}' {here, i was prompted for my github password, then i proceeded} git remote add origin [email protected]:jeffelrod/hello.git git push origin master
aaaaand, here we are.
