Binding to GitHub - make sure your repo has no history!

It took me several hours to get Flare's Source Control to work with remote repositories on GitHub, so I thought I'd share.
Our biggest problem was that the GitHub repo we wanted to bind already had commit history. This lead to problems when pushing:

The solution was to create a new GitHub repo that is not initialized with a README.md file. (You can always add a README.md after binding your Flare project.). For example, the repo should look like:
clean-repo.png
Then we could happily bind our Flare project with the repo.
