How to use git with Symfony 2?

Question

I installed Symfony 2 with Composer (following the 'master' guides), and it created this .git/config file:

[core]
    repositoryformatversion = 0
    filemode = true
    bare = false
    logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    url = git://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard
    pushurl = git@github.com:symfony/symfony-standard.git
[branch "master"]
    remote = origin
    merge = refs/heads/master
[remote "composer"]
    url = git://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/composer/*

I don't want to interfere with what Composer did here since I don't know how it works, and I want to be able to update the vendors in the future.

So how do I add my own repository for 'myapp' and commit/push to it? I usually do 'git remote add origin ...' and only work with that, but now there are two repositories in the file, plus the one I need to add.

UPDATE

I installed Symfony2 with this command:

$ php composer.phar create-project symfony/framework-standard-edition myapp

This created myapp/ and installed Symfony2 + dependencies. But now composer.json does not look like it's ready to use for my project, it looks like my project is Symfony2 itself (I think):

{
    "name": "symfony/framework-standard-edition",
    "description": "The "Symfony Standard Edition" distribution",

    "psr-0": { "": "src/" }
    },

Master Guides

http://symfony.com/doc/master/book/installation.html (for the first step, which is downloading symfony, I used the composer command, as shown here: http://symfony.com/download)
http://symfony.com/doc/master/cookbook/workflow/new_project_git.html (this one seems to be outdated, since it says we have to do 'git init', but the git repo is already created by composer)
