How do I add a remote to a preexisting local git project? [message #1093119]

There doesn't appear to be a way in Egit to add a remote, requiring users to manually edit .git/config. I just want to push my local git project to GitHub.

The tutorials say to use Team -> Push, but there is no Push menu item!!

Look in the Git Repositories view for this operation. Right-click the repo of interest, navigate to Remote -> Fetch or Remote -> Pull. From here you can fetch from or push to anywhere you want.

[well, almost anywhere: EGit still doesn't support fetching from a bundle file, which is a nuisance for me]
