Upload new package to github

This is all very confusing and needs proper documentation. Its a pity that my request to add this documentation to the Julia documentation was declined. See: Documentation how to push a package to github is missing · Issue #2427 · JuliaLang/Pkg.jl · GitHub

I don’t know because that isn’t what I use. I must have misunderstood the earlier posts about it. If it just creates the origin remote link but not the actual repo, then all one has to do is to create a repo on Github with same name but still EMPTY and then push. Just to be clear for those who are following along.
