1. Say you have repo in github called testrepo
  2. Browse to a local directory – and clone the repo in there (by typing git clone https://…testrepo full url
  3. Now, you have an empty local repo – but it’s not traced by your local git. To do this, type:
  4. git init
git add README.md (or whatever file you may already have in the local folder)
git commit -m "test commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourgithub/testrepo.git
git push -u origin main

NOTE: On the commit, if you do not provide a comment, you will be prompted (vi) to enter one. type any text 'test commit' and esc wq! to save and exit vi.
