This tutorial explains how to use the git remote add origin command to connect a local project or repository to a service like GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket.

To link a new Git branch to your remote GitHub or GitLab repo, you must use the 'set upstream' Git push command. This walkthrough shows you how.

A Github repository is basically a folder designed to store files. It is also available online for anyone to download, access, and contribute to the files/code within the folder.

GitHub has enabled push protection by default for all public repositories to prevent accidental exposure of secrets such as access tokens and API keys when pushing new code.
