After an update the command line instructions are no longer working. My recommendation would be to change some things as well: from: ``` cd existing_folder git init git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/name/project.git git add . git commit -m "Initial commit" git push -u origin master ``` to: ``` # cd existing_folder git init git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/name/project.git git add . git commit -m "Initial commit" git push -u origin master ``` Elaboration: `git remote add origin \n ...rest` -> this does not work `cd existing_folder` -> I always run the snippets from the proper folder. cd existing_folder is never correct and should always be backspaced to properly work making copy paste not a valid option. You can let it error but this feels awkward.
