Ok I think I have a workflow that I think will work. Perform the `Authorise with Github` and `Push to Repo` steps in one of the control directories, but don’t do the `git push <repo_name> --all` step. Once you’ve done that, go to the repository you’ve just created on ACCESS-Community-Hub (should be able to search that organisation by the `repo_name` you just used) and get the URL of the repository, we’ll call it `<repo_URL>`. Then do this in each of your other control directories:

1. `git remote add origin <repo_URL>`. This tells the current directory to point to the repository on Github as the “master” in a sense.
2. To check that this worked, do `git remote -v`. It should show that URL for `fetch` and `push`.
3. `git push --set-upstream origin <branch_name>`. This should push the current control directory as a branch to the master with the given name. Say the directory you’re in is the 30% variability reduction case, the name it something like `30pc_SST_variability_reduction`.

Hopefully this works, I might have missed a step in there, so as always, let me know if there are problems.
