Creating a Node ExpressJS project on github: MadisonHQ

In this introduction to node, I will be using ExpressJS.  If you have not already done so, install NPM and then as root, "npm install express".


On my dev platform, I create a new Express Project:

express -s madisonHQ

This command creates a new folder "madisonHQ" and adds a skel app.js.  Head to git and create a new repository.


Now, lets get this setup on Git.
cd madisonHQ
git remote add madisonHQ git@github.com:mikekunze/madisonHQ.git
git init
git add .
git commit -m 'first commit'
git push -u madisonHQ master


As you can see here, https://github.com/mikekunze/madisonHQ, my new project is synced and repo'ed.

Depending on your environment, you might need to get the express library added to the project.  This is easy.  Inside the madisonHQ directory:
npm install express
