Uhmm, I'd (1) open a Github or Bitbucket account (2) ssh to the solaris machine (3) install git if needed (4) clone your repo (which has just the readme file at this point) (5) fill the local files, git add what you want to track, the git commit and git push. (6) in windows you can use msysgit to connect to your remote repo.

But uhhm, this is not Python at all ;-)
