4- # Initialize the local directory as a Git repository.
$ git init

$ git add .
# Adds the files in the local repository and stages them for commit. To unstage a file, use 'git reset HEAD YOUR-FILE'.
6- # Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository.
$ git commit -m "First commit"
# Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository. To remove this commit and modify the file, use 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' and commit and add the file again.
7- # At the top of your GitHub repository's Quick Setup page, click to copy the remote repository URL.
8- # In Terminal, add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed.
$ git remote add origin <remote repository URL>
# Sets the new remote
$ git remote -v
# Verifies the new remote URL
9- # Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub.
$ git branch -M main
$ git push -u origin main
# Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin
