git remote add [alias] [url] [message #773848]

I would like to do the equivalent of "git remote add alias url" from the EGit UI, so that the remote appears in the team->remote->push 'configured remote repository' drop-down.

Is it possible?

Thanks

Go to the "Git Repositories" view, open the tree of the repository you want, right-click on "Remotes" and select "Create Remote". Remote name is the alias, and the url is specified in the second step of the wizard.

Brilliant. Thanks!
I was looking in the "team" context menu, I wasn't looking in the "Git Repositories" view.

"git remote add origin git@YOUR_SERVER_HOSTNAME:free_monkey.git"
I created remote by your methods.

The server's repository is empty. So, I need the following command.
"git push origin master:refs/heads/master"

How can I exec the command in Egit?
There is no branch at the new local repository.

If you have no local branch, there is nothing you can push. You have to create a branch and do one or more commits to push that commits.
Pushing is possible when you right-click on a project or on a repository in the repositories view.

If you commit a change, the branch "master" will automatically be created. Then you can create a new branch, if you right click on the repository, and then choose "Switch to" -> "New branch".
Since branches are pointers to a commit in Git, you must have at least one commit, otherwise there is nothing a branch could point to.
