 ==== Atom, Git and Rust ====
-I need to write a clear procedure on how to manage with the graphical interface git for rust projects. Cargo initializes rust as a local git repository, but linking it with a remote project, in GitLab for instance, does not automatically activate the graphical git interface in Atom.
+When you create a new Rust project using Cargo it automatically initializes a local git repository.
+To connect it with a remote repository follow the basic instructions :
+<code>
+git remote add origin <remote_repo_url>
+git push --all origin
+</code>
+You will be prompted for username and password of owner of the Git distant repository.
+Edit (Fall 2019) : This actually doesn't work very well, see below for proper instructions.
+If you want to set all of your branches to automatically use this remote repo when you use git pull, add --set-upstream to the push:
+<code>
+git push --all --set-upstream origin
+</code>
+This is the advised way to push to a new repo by Git Lab and works perfectly well with a Rust project.
+<code>
+cd existing_folder
+git init //Skip if in a Rust project created with cargo, git is already initialized
+git remote add origin [Remote Repository Address.git]
+git add . //Not sure it's required, since the folder is already populated.
+git commit -m "Initial commit" //Feel free to change the message
+git push -u origin master //This is what actually pushes.
+</code>
+Atom has a built-in git feature that will automatically detect git repositories and has a useful GUI. To use it, your project root folder **must be directly** in the project tree manager. It cannot be in a sub-directory or Atom will **not** autodetect the git repository.
