Instructions for adding remotes instead of cloning new repositories?

Often times when I want to use gitlab on sandstorm it's to share an existing project that I've kept private elsewhere with others. In this case I'd like to simply add a new sandstorm git remote instead of cloning a new repository. It'd be nice if there were copy/paste instructions in the gitlab interface when you're creating a new repository such that you can more easily achieve this.

As far as I can tell the first command would remain the same, but following that you'd need to change git remote add sandstorm $URL. Does git remote take the same -c flag to set credential.helper as the clone operation does?

You can run git config credential.helper store before or after adding the remote. This sets a local repository option that tells git to look in ~/.git-credentials for the stored password.
