I have no existing files.

I have existing files on my local system.

If you've been working on a project on your local system, it's probably a good idea to put it into source control. Alternatively, you may already have it versioned using Git or Mercurial, but you now want to start collaborating with a few others.

Create a repository in Bitbucket and then connect your local directory to the remote repository.

I have existing files in a source control tool.

Bitbucket provides a tool for importing from certain source control tools. If your code is in a system Bitbucket can't import, you can convert it to Git or Mercurial before pushing the code to Bitbucket.
