How Do I Push an Existing Eclipse Project Up to Bitbucket With EGIT?

Question

I have a project for an interview I need to get onto Bitbucket. I normally use Github, so the slight change is throwing me off. I coded the project, tested it, and it works fine. Now I want to get it up on the repository, but can't. I installed EGIT to my Eclipse instance on my local, and while it will attach itself to the empty online repository it won't allow me to import my local code to a do a push and commit.

Can anyone advise on the simplest way I can get this taken care of?

With EGit on Neon: right-click on project > Team > Push branch...., you'll see the push dialog and a button to create a new remote. Click this button, configure the bitbucket repo, Finish. Then the repo should be available in the Push Dialog. So select it as target and press Finish.
